Tenderness on The Block — текст песни (Shawn Colvin)

W. zevon - j. browne



Mamma wheres your pretty little girl tonight

Shes tryin to run before she can walk

Thats right

Shes growing up

Shes got a young man waiting

Shes growing up

Shes got a young man waiting





Shes wide-eyed

Shell be streetwise

To the lies

And the jive talk

But shell find true love

And tenderness on the block





Now daddy dont you ask her when

Shes comin home

When shes back dont ask her where

Shes been

Shes going out

Shes got a young man waiting

Shes going out

Shes got a young man waiting





Shell be okay

Let her have her way

Its a long way

Its a long walk

But shell find true love

And tenderness on the block

Shes gonna find true love

Shes gonna find true love

Shes gonna find true love

And tenderness on the block





Now I know how much it hurts to see her go

But shes got a mind of her own you know

Shes all grown-up

Shes got a young man waiting

Shes all grown-up

Shes got a young man waiting





She was wide-eyed

Now shes streetwise

To the lies

And the jive talk

But shell find true love

And tenderness on the block





Shes gonna find true love
