F#
Little princess, summer flowers in her hair
B
Playing Ring Around The Rosie in a picture there
F#
Tiptoeing 'round the house in her mama's shoes
B
Coloring her lips red in her bedroom

Prom queen wants to be like the magazines
Thinks she found her king, barely seventeen
Too much that the world's wanting you to do
When you're still just a child in your mama's shoes

Chorus:
        F#
Little girl, little girl, don't grow up too fast
           B
'Fore you know it, you'll be wishing
you could just go back
           F#
Don't you know there'll be plenty of time for that
 B
Somewhere down the road?
           F#
Yeah, it's all gonna fly in the blink of an eye
     B
You can't slow down this thing called life
    D#m       C#          B
So take your time and let it last
 D#m          C#        B
Little girl, don't grow up too fast

Sometimes I feel like I'm hanging on by a thread
Climbing ladders trying to get to the next step
Working hard, always wanting something more
Missing how things were simple like it was before

'Cause it's hard to know just what to do
When I still feel like a child in my mama's shoes

Chorus:
Little girl, little girl, don't grow up too fast
'Fore you know it, you'll be
wishing you could just go back
Don't you know there'll be plenty of time for that
Somewhere down the road?
Yeah, it's all gonna fly in the blink of an eye
You can't slow down this thing called life
So take your time and let it last
Little girl, don't grow up too fast
Ooh, yeah

     B                    C#
Sometimes I wish I could just go back and say
  B                  C#
"Take your time and let it last, little girl"

Chorus:
Yeah, it's all gonna fly in the blink of an eye
You can't slow down this thing called life
So take your time and let it last
Little girl, don't grow up too fast
Little girl, don't grow up too fast
Yeah, yeah
