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 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'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 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 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
