Tenderness on the Block
(W. Zevon/J. Browne)
Shawn Colvin 

         Mamma where's your pretty little girl tonight
         She's tryin' to run before she can walk
         That's right
         She's growing up
         She's got a young man waiting
         She's growing up
         She's got a young man waiting

         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

         Now daddy don't you ask her when
         she's comin' home
         When she's back don't ask her where
         she's been
         She's going out
         She's got a young man waiting
         She's going out
         She's got a young man waiting

         She'll be okay
         Let her have her way
         It's a long way
         It's a long walk
         But she'll find true love
         And tenderness on the block
         She's gonna find true love
         She's gonna find true love
         She's gonna find true love
         And tenderness on the block

         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 waiting
         She's all grown-up
         She's got a young man waiting

         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

         She's gonna find true love
