My papa told me that the day would come
When I would want to love someone
He sat me down on his knee
And these are the words he said to me
One of these days you're gonna reach 18
And all the boys you see are gonna call you a queen
You'll smile and blush and hold your head up high
But the same little boys will make you cry
So the best thing to do when you reach this stage
Is to be a good girl, remember what I said
Make 'em wait (wah, wah), pick your date (wah, wah)
Make 'em wait and pick a date before you make a big mistake
You know when true love comes along
He won't necessarily be rich or tall
He'll walk right up and grab you by the hand
And he'll lead you right straight to the preacher's hands
So the best thing to do when you reach this stage
Is to be a good girl, remember what I said
Now make 'em wait (wah, wah), pick your date (wah, wah)
Make 'em wait and pick a date before you make a big mistake
Just because he treats you nice
Doesn't mean that he wants a wife
Take your time and pick your prince
No fool around girl
One of these days you're gonna reach 18
And all the boys you see are gonna call you a queen
You'll smile and blush and hold your head up high
But the same little boys will make you cry
So the best thing to do when you reach this stage
Is to be a good girl, remember what I said
Now make 'em wait (wah, wah), pick your date (wah, wah)
Make 'em wait and pick a date before you make a big mistake
Make 'em wait (wah, wah), pick your date (wah, wah)
Make 'em wait and pick a date before you make a big mistake
Make 'em wait (wah, wah), pick your date (wah, wah)
Make 'em wait and pick a date before you make a big mistake
