Graham Parker The Girl Isn’t Ready Lyrics

The Girl Isn’t Ready Lyrics

Pre>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
