[Verse 1]

C
Mama where's your pretty little girl tonight

She's tryin' to run before she can walk, that's right

      F           F5  F
She's growing up,

                      C
She's got a young man waiting

      F          F5 F
She's growing up,

                      C
She's got a young man waiting

[Chorus 1]

      G    C
She's wide-eyed

          G     C
She'll be streetwise

       Dm   C
To the lies

        G
And the jive talk

           Am             Bb
But she'll find true love

N.C.                  C
And tenderness on the block

[Verse 2]

    C
Now daddy don't you ask her when she's comin' home

When she's back don't ask her where she's been, no no

      F         F5 F
She's going out

                      C
She's got a young man waiting

      F          F5 F
She's going out

                      C
She's got a young man waiting

[Chorus 2]

          G  C
She'll be okay

        G        C
Let her have her way

       Dm   C
It's a long way

       G
It's a long walk

           Am              Bb
But she'll find true love

N.C.                  C
And tenderness on the block

[Bridge]

            F
She's gonna find true love

            Am
She's gonna find true love

            Bb              G
She's gonna find true love

N.C.                  C
And tenderness on the block

[Verse 3]

      C
Now I know how much it hurts to see her go

But she's got a mind of her own you know

      F              F5 F
She's all grown up

                      C
She's got a young man waiting

      F             F5 F
She's all grown up

                      C
She's got a young man waiting

[Chorus 4]

        G    C
She was wide-eyed

          G     C
Now she's streetwise

       Dm    C
To the lies

        G
And the jive talk

        F    C
She was wide-eyed

          Dm    C
Now she's streetwise

       Bb
To the lies

        F         G
And the jive talk

           Am            Bb
But she'll find true love

N.C.                  C
And tenderness on the block

She's gonna find true love
