Tenderness On The Block Lyrics

Tenderness On The Block lyrics

Mama, where's your pretty little girl tonight

 Trying to run before she can walk - that's right

 She's growing up

 She has a young man waiting

 She's growing up

 She has a young man waiting

 Wide-eyes

 She'll be street-wise

 To the lies

 And the jive talk

 She'll find true love

 And tenderness on the block

 

 Daddy, don't you ask her when she's coming in

 And when she's home don't ask her where she's been

 She's going out

 She has a young man waiting

 She's going out

 Can't keep her young man waiting

 She'll be okay

 Let her have her day

 It's a long way

 It's a long walk

 She'll find true love

 And tenderness on the block

 

 I know how much it hurts to see her go

 She has a mind of her own, you know

 She's all grown up

 She has a young man waiting

 She's all grown up

 She has a young man waiting

 She was wide-eyed

 Now she's street-wise

 To the lies

 And the jive talk

 She'll find true love

 And tenderness on the block

 She'll find true love

 And tenderness on the block
