"Little Girls Grow Up" lyrics

Girls like their dolls
But, every once in a while
Play ball with the boys (Ball with the boys)
Soon they'll change their ways
'Cause this is just a stage
We all go through (We all go through)

Fathers are so surprised
Refuse to realize
Oh, they just don't want to believe
Little girls grow up

Bought an evening dress (Bought an evening dress)
Wants to look her best (Wants to look her best)
Dressed in silk and lace
Fellas crawl around
But it's too late now
She has a steady date (Steady date)

Seldom wears blue jeans
Prefers more grown-up things
Oh, we're young ladies now
'Cause little girls grow up, yeah

Years quickly fade
Sunday's her wedding day
She'll make a lovely bride (A lovely bride)
Her dad's filled with pride
He's to walk at her side
When she comes down the aisle (Comes down the aisle)

His little bundle of joy
Who threw away all her toys
And now we're the livin' proof, yeah
Little girls grow up

Yeah, we're the livin' proof
I said, little girls grow up
Nothin' but the livin' truth, oh
Little girls grow up
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Little girls grow up
