Little Girl Don't Grow Up Too Fast

[Verse 1] Little princess, summer flowers in her hair Playing "Ring Around the Rosie" in a picture there Tiptoeing 'round the house in her mama's shoes Coloring her lips red in her bedroom [Verse 2] Prom queen wants to be like the magazines Thinks she found her king, barely seventeen Too much that the world's wanting you to do When you're still just a child in your mama's shoes [Chorus] Little girl, little girl, don't grow up too fast 'Fore you know it, you'll be wishing you could just go back Don't you know there'll be plenty of time for that? Somewhere down the road Yeah, it's all gonna fly in the blink of an eye You can't slow down this thing called life So take your time and let it last Little girl, don't grow up too fast Yeah, yeah [Verse 3] Sometimes I feel like I'm hanging on by a thread Climbing ladders trying to get to the next step Working hard, always wanting something more Missing how things were simple like it was before [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause it's hard to know just what to do When I still feel like a child in my mama's shoes [Chorus] Little girl, little girl, don't grow up too fast 'Fore you know it, you'll be wishing you could just go back Don't you know there'll be plenty of time for that Somewhere down the road? Yeah, it's all gonna fly in the blink of an eye You can't slow down this thing called life So take your time and let it last Little girl, don't grow up too fast Ooh, yeah [Bridge] Sometimes I wish I could just go back and say "Take your time and let it last, little girl" [Chorus] Yeah, it's all gonna fly in the blink of an eye You can't slow down this thing called life So take your time and let it last Little girl, don't grow up too fast Little girl, don't grow up too fast Yeah, yeah
