My papa told me the day would come,
     D#m             C#
when I would want to love some one.
   C#          F#
He sat me down on his knee,
    D#m                    C#
and these are the words he said to me.
(He said):
C#
One of these days you're going to reach 18,
    D#m
and all the boys ya see is gonna call ya a queen.
You'll smile, and blush, and hold your head up high.
        C#
But the same little boys will make you cry.
       F#
So the best thing to do when you reach this age.
      C#
Is to be a good girl, remember what I say.
            D#m                 F#
You make em wait. And pick your dates.
                C#
Woah-oh make em wait, pick your dates,
before you make a big mistake.
C#
Know when true love comes your way.
      D#m
There won't be much that you will say.
He'll walk right up and take you by your hand,
          C#
and he'll lead you right straight to the preacher man.
       F#
So the best thing to do when you reach this age.
      C#
Is to be a good girl, remember what I say.
            D#m                 F#
You make em wait. And pick your dates.
                C#
Woah-oh make em wait, pick your dates,
before you make a big mistake.
F#
Just because they treat you nice,
doesn't mean they want a wife.
C#
Take your time, pick your friends,
teach you love never ends.
F#
Though the dog will have his way,
in the end you will say,
D#
remember your old father's words:
G#
Don't you be no fool now girl.
Yeah-eah-E-ayy
