The girl isn't ready (x2) 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 [Chorus] Ready, the girl isn't ready We can never tell her how to take it steady She'll be ready one day I know The girl isn't ready (x2) 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] 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
