ALL GROWN UP
(Jeff Barry / Ellie Greenwich / Phil Spector)


The Crystals - 1964





Well I'm all grown up, ain't no baby no more
I can do the things I couldn't do before
No more ponytails, I wear my hair up high
Because I'm seventeen and that's the reason why

Now I'm all grown up and I'll go where I wanna go
See who I wanna see, stay out late
I'm all grown up and I'll do what I wanna do
Be what I wanna be, neat, I can hardly wait

Well I'm goin' on dates ev'ry Saturday night
And if he wants a kiss, I might say all right
I got my high heels on and I'm a-ready to go
I'm gonna go downtown, I'm gonna steal the show

'Cause I'm all grown up and I'll go where I wanna go
See who I wanna see, stay out late
I'm all grown up and I'll do what I wanna do
Be what I wanna be, neat, I can hardly wait

(Instrumental Break)

All grown up and I'll go where I wanna go
See who I wanna see, stay out late
I'm all grown up and I'll do what I wanna do
Be what I wanna be, neat, I can hardly wait

Gee, I can hardly wait

ALTERNATE VERSION:


Well I'm all grown up, ain't no baby no more
I can do the things I couldn't do before
No more ponytails, I wear my hair up high
Because I'm seventeen and that's the reason why

Because I'm all grown up and I'll go where I wanna go
All grown up and I'll do what I wanna do
All grown up and I'll be what I wanna be
See who I wanna see, gee, I can hardly wait

Well I'm goin' on dates ev'ry Saturday night
And if he wants a kiss, I might say all right
I got my high heels on and I'm a-ready to go
You know I'm goin' downtown, I'm gonna steal the show

Because I'm all grown up and I'll go where I wanna go
All grown up and I'll do what I wanna do
All grown up and I'll be what I wanna be
See who I wanna see, gee, I can hardly wait

(Instrumental Break)

Because I'm all grown up and I'll go where I wanna go
All grown up and I'll do what I wanna do
All grown up and I'll be what I wanna be
See who I wanna see, gee, I can hardly wait

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah ............ FADE
