Come Back When You Grow Up

Bobby Vee

(Words and Music by Martha Sharp)

CHORUS

Come back when you grow up, girl

You're still livin' in a paper-doll world

Livin' ain't easy, lovin's twice as tough

So come back, baby, when you grow up

You look real good like a woman now

Your mind hasn't gotten the message somehow

So if you can't take it 'n' the goin' gets rough

Come back, baby, when you grow up

I want you girl but your wide-eyed innocence

Has really messed up my mind, yeah-eah-eah

I'd rather you get your very first heartbreak

Somewhere else along the line

Come back when you grow up, girl

You're still livin' in a paper-doll world

Some day be a woman ready to love

Come back, baby, when you grow up

CHORUS

Come back when you grow up, girl

You're still livin' in a paper-doll world

Livin' ain't easy, lovin's twice as tough

So come back, baby, when you grow up

Come back when you grow up, girl

You've still got a lotta time left in the world

You'll some day be a woman ready to love

Come back, baby, when you grow up

CHORUS (Fades)

Come back when you grow up, girl

You're still livin' in a paper-doll world

Livin' ain't easy, lovin's twice as tough

So come back, baby, when you grow up
