I'm not a girl anymore I'm a woman now And it's time to be puttin' on the ways of a woman Never look for the times That I lived for before I'm not a girl anymore I'm a woman All of the friends of my youth They have grown up now And each one has gone to the corner To get his own I'm not brave No, I don't have the answer to sorrow But I know the only place you can go Is tomorrow Now let the past go The days warm and golden Laughter to the water And footprints to the sand Take this morning See how it glitters And watch while new days born in your hand And say goodbye to the girl She is gone forever And please try to care For the new person as much as ever Come on and wake up Come on and look Come on and open the door Find a woman, a woman, never a girl anymore
