D                  E7
Come back when you grow up, girl,
A
You're still livin' in a paper-doll world.
D            E7     D                E7
Livin' ain't easy, lovin's twice as tough,
   Bm               E7            A
So come back, baby, when you grow up.
#1.
A   D                     E7
You look real good like a woman now,
         A
but your mind hasn't gotten the message somehow.
   D                            E7
So if you can't take it and the goin' gets rough,
Bm               E7            A
Come back, baby, when you grow up.

CHORUS:#2.
A                        G
I want you girl but your wide-eyed innocence,
                        A
Has really messed up my mind, yeah.
                        G
I'd rather you get your very first heartbreak,
Bm                       E
Somewhere else along the line.

CHORUS:#1.

#2.
D                  E7
Come back when you grow up, girl,
A
You've still got a lotta time left in the world.
        D             E7     D        E7
You'll some day be a woman, ready to love,
Bm               E7            A
Come back, baby, when you grow up.(x2)
