Listen, little girl Don't play around with the wild ones Better drink tea with the mild ones You're still an ingénue Listen, little girl Stay with your own pretty set, dear Grand amour's not for you yet, dear You'll find a love that's true Once you spread your wings
It's alright if you fly You'll learn lots of things On your way to the sky Listen, little girl Stay where the bright lights won't blind you Some day that someone will find you Listen to me, ‘cause I've got my degree Better listen, little girl to me
