[Verse 1]

Little princess, summer flowers in her hair

Playing Ring Around The Rosie in a picture there

Tiptoeing 'round the house in her mama's shoes

Coloring her lips red in her bedroom
D Dsus2 G
[Verse 2]
D
Prom queen wants to be like the magazines
G
Thinks she found her king, barely seventeen

Too much that the world's wanting you to do
G
When you're still just a child in your mama's shoes
[Chorus]
D
Little girl, little girl, don't grow up too fast
G
'Fore you know it, you'll be wishing you could just go back
D
Don't you know there'll be plenty of time for that
G
Somewhere down the road?
D
Yeah, it's all gonna fly in the blink of an eye
G
You can't slow down this thing called life
D
So take your time and let it last
G
Little girl, don't grow up too fast
G
Yeah, yeah

Sometimes I feel like I'm hanging on by a thread
G
Climbing ladders trying to get to the next step

Working hard, always wanting something more

Missing how things were simple like it was before
[Pre-Chorus]

Cause it's hard to know just what to do

When I still feel like a child in my mama's shoes

So take your time and let it last

Little girl, don't grow up too fast

Ooh, yeah
[Bridge]
G
Sometimes I wish I could just go back and say
D
"Take your time and let it last, little girl"
[Chorus]
D
Yeah, it's all gonna fly in the blink of an eye
G
You can't slow down this thing called life

So take your time and let it last
