Janis Ian - Too Old to Go 'Way Little Girl lyrics

[Janis Ian - Too Old to Go 'Way Little Girl lyrics]

Don't go out in the street little girl
And don't go out into town
Now you don't know who
You'll meet little girl
There are bad men around
Your mother, she's in love with you
And she tells you
"You oughtn't to go with guys"
So go to bed at ten
Let your mama tuck you in
And turn on your Mickey Mouse night-light
Then you make it with your mind

Don't go out into town, little girl
Stay safe in your house, little girl
Your mother's wails, and the Enquirer's tales
Keep you hiding, denying

Don't go into the park, little girl
You know those men are all the same
Stay inside alone after dark, little girl


Boy wants just one thing
Don't talk about sex, you might get hexed
God'll punish you for your dirty mind
Now there's no escaping, you'd enjoy a raping
Just to find out the facts of life
Mama says "Maintain your pride"

Don't go out into town, little girl
Stay safe in the house, little girl
Your mother's wails, and the daily news tales
Keep you hiding, denying

Don't go into your mind, little girl
Y'know the windows
They're only made of glass
Don't let me catch you trying to pry
Little girl mirrors of illusion tumble past
You're too far gone for anyone
I'd like to help, but I can only sigh
You'd best maintain your mama's pride
You lost yours the time
You obeyed when she said "Don't fraternize"
No place to hide

Don't go out into town, little girl
Stay safe in the house, little girl
Your mother's a gun and you continue to run
Keep you hiding, denying
