Some Girls Grow Up

I know the hot nights
And I know the red lights
I've been in these places before
I know the dancers
The way they are acting
And dropping the clothes on the floor
I know the drinkers
And I know the hookers
The way they are searching for more
I know the backstreets
The rooms of the junkies
No, I'm not a little girl anymore

Some girls grow up somehow
Leave their home town somehow
If you don't know by now
You will find out somehow

Some girls grow up somehow
Leave their home town somehow
If you don't know, there's no doubt about it
You will find out

You still remember
The sweet little girl
You asked for a very first date
We kissed on the porches
And we had to run
Because it was getting so late
Then we got older
And you went away
Got your postcards, Korea, Algiers
And I moved to the city
But you didn't ask me
What I had been through all these years

Some girls grow up somehow
Leave their home town somehow
If you don't know by now
You will find out somehow

Some girls grow up somehow
Leave their home town somehow
If you don't know, there's no doubt about it
You will find out

Some girls grow up somehow
Leave their home town somehow
If you don't know, there's no doubt about it
You will find out
