Graham Parker — The Girl Isn't Ready lyrics

Lyrics

The girl isn’t ready is what her mother says
We just put her toys away it seems like yesterday
She has seen something better through the window
She will reach for it even though she doesn’t know if she’s
Ready, the girl isn’t ready
We can never tell her how to take it steady
She’ll be re a dy one day I know
The girl isn’t ready (twice)
The girl isn’t ready to do what she wants to do We think that her boyfriend’s like something from a zoo
She thinks that she understands what she’s feeling
She’s going to leave us make no mistake the wounds won’t be healing
CHORUS then instrumental over E D E D F#m F#m
The girl isn’t ready sure she thinks she is She walks like a grownup but talks just like a kid
She wants to take on the world and his brother
Next thing you know she’ll be telling us that she’s a mother
Outro — as intro w/ more repeats
