"Little Girls Actin' Like Men" lyrics

Well their Daddy's was never in the picture
And their Mommy's was always bad mouthin' them
Well the folks downtown would smile
And turn and say, "Bless their little hearts"

These little girls actin like men
They swear you'll never see them cry again
They run with the boys
With a womanly poise
And then they go and carry on like grown men

Well they ball up their fists
And they drink like a fish
And they look for a fight every night
When the going gets tough, these girls pack up
Just like all the men in their lives

These little girls actin like men
They swear you'll never see them cry again
They run with the boys
With a womanly poise
And then they go and carry on like grown men

Well the ladies all say
They should act their own age
Start thinking about the future ahead
But they know ain't a thing in this world for them
Except pain and misery

When they find them a man
Who can think like they can
They throw back their hair and lay care to the wind
And he holds her awhile but not too tight you see
She vows to never see him again

These little girls actin like men
They swear you'll never see them cry again
They run with the boys
With a womanly poise
And then they go and carry on like grown men
