Come back when you grow up, girl
You’re still livin’ in a paper-doll world.
Livin’ ain’t easy, lovin’s twice as tough
So come back, baby, when you grow up.

You look real good like a woman now
Your mind hasn’t gotten the message somehow.
So if you can’t take it ‘n’ the goin’ gets rough,
Come back, baby, when you grow up

Come back when you grow up, girl
You’re still livin’ in a paper-doll world.
Livin’ ain’t easy, lovin’s twice as tough
So come back, baby, when you grow up.

I want you girl but your wide-eyed innocence
Has really messed up my mind, yeah-eah-eah.
I’d rather you get your very first heartbreak
Somewhere else along the line.

Come back when you grow up, girl,
You’re still livin’ in a paper-doll world.
Some day be a woman ready to love.
Come back, baby, when you grow up.

Come back when you grow up, girl,
You’ve still got a lotta time left in the world.
You’ll some day be a woman ready to love.
Come back, baby, when you grow up
