Graham Parker - The girl isnt ready Lyrics

Intro

A                     F#m

The girl isn't ready          (twice)



A                       F#m

The girl isn't ready is what her mother says

A                              F#m

We just put her toys away it seems like yesterday

E                       D

She has seen something better through the window

E                       D

She will reach for it even though she doesn't know if she's



CHORUS

A                     F#m

Ready, the girl isn't ready

               A                       F#m

We can never tell her how to take it steady

            A   E   D              A

She'll be re    a   dy one day I know

A                     F#m

The girl isn't ready          (twice)



The girl isn't ready to do what she wants to do

We think that her boyfriend's like something from a zoo

She thinks that she understands what she's feeling

She's going to leave us make no mistake the wounds won't be healing



CHORUS  then instrumental over E  D   E  D  F#m   F#m



The girl isn't ready sure she thinks she is

She walks like a grownup but talks just like a kid

She wants to take on the world and his brother

Next thing you know she'll be telling us that she's a mother
