Graham Parker - The Girl Isn't Ready lyrics

pre>intro A f#m The girl isn't ready (twice) A f#m The girl isn't ready is what her mother says A f#m We just put her toys away it seems like yesterday E d She has seen something better through the window E d She will reach for it even though she doesn't know if she's Chorus A f#m Ready, the girl isn't ready A f#m We can never tell her how to take it steady A e d a She'll be re a dy one day i know A f#m 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 /pre>
