Tenderness On The Block

Mamma, where's your pretty little girl tonight?
 She's tryin' to run before she can walk, that's right
 She's growin' up, she's got a young man waitin'
 She's growin' up, she's got a young man waitin'
 She's wide-eyed, she'll be streetwise
 To the lies and the jive talk
 But she'll find true love
 And tenderness on the block, yeah
 Now daddy, don't you ask her when she's comin' home
 And when she's back, don't ask her where she's been, no, no
 She's goin' out, she's got a young man waitin', yeah
 She's goin' out, she's got a young man waitin', mmm, hmm
 And she'll be okay, let her have her way
 'Cause it's a long way, it's a long walk
 But she'll find true love, oh
 And tenderness on the block
 [Incomprehensible], she's gonna find true love
 She's gonna find true love
 She's gonna find true love
 And tenderness on the block, mmm, hey
 Now I know how much it hurts to see her go
 But she's got a mind of her own, you know
 She's all grown-up, she's got a young man waitin'
 Oh, she's all grown-up, ain't got no young man waitin', no, no
 She was wide-eyed, now she's streetwise
 To the lies and the jive talk
 She was wide-eyed, now she's streetwise
 To the lies and the jive talk
 But she'll find true love
 And tenderness on the block
 Yes, she's gonna find true love, hey
 She's gonna find true love
 She's gonna find true love
 Oh, she's gonna find true love
 She's gonna find true love
 (Find true love)
 She's gonna find true love, mmm
 (Find true love)
 She's gonna find true love
 (Find true love)
 She's gonna find true love
 (Find true love)
 She's gonna find true love
 (She's gonna find true love)
 She's gonna find true love
 (She's gonna find true love)
 Guess what, she's gonna find true love
 (She's gonna find true love)
 She's gonna find true love, ooh
 (She's gonna find true love)
 She's gonna find true love
 (She's gonna find true love)
 She's gonna find true love
 (She's gonna find true love)
 Oh, she's gonna find true love
 (She's gonna find true love)
 She's gonna find true, true, true love
 (She's gonna find true love, she's gonna find true love)
 Oh yeah
 (She's gonna find true love)
