Well look out mamma, your little girl she has changed
                           A                  B
She cut her baby curls and she's got her act rearranged
              A                                           B
Well look out daddy, what she needs now she can't find at home

Mama says her little girl won't talk to her anymore
                                    A                    B
She just goes in her room, turns on radio, and shuts the door
              A                                   B
She's got her own bathroom, TV, stereo, extension phone
              E             A
Oh but mama,  Ricky wants a man of her

Well, daddy says when he drops her off Friday night at the gym

She slides way down in the front seat so the kids won't see her with him
    B                                  A                      E
She don't do no work, she don't tell nobody when she's coming home
          A                                     B
She makes poor daddy wait down on the corner at midnight all alone

            E                        A                   E
She used to like me to take her to a ballgame or a movie show
                                       A                    B
She used to make daddy take his little girl where she wanna go
               A                                                      E
Now we're left peeking through the curtains every time that we hear a horn blow
        B                        E

Well my folks say "son talk to her, if she'll listen to you"

Yeah she listens real nice and she does what she wants to do
                         A                                                     B
Daddy says she waers her jeans so tight "Well you change 'em or you're stayin' home"
