GIRLS GROW UP FASTER THAN BOYS DO
(Jack Keller / Gerry Goffin)


The Cookies - 1964



Girls grow up faster than boys do
Girls grow up faster than boys
Girls grow up faster than boys do
So, baby, I'm old enough for you

Once you used to date my big sister
Now, baby, she's the one for you

Why'nt'ya take a look at me now
You'd be surprised at what you see now
I'm everything a girl should be now
Thirty-six, twenty-one, thirty-five

I tell you girls grow up faster than boys do
So, baby, I'm old enough for you

(Instrumental Break)

Why'nt'ya take a look at me now
You'd be surprised at what you see now
I'm everything a girl should be now
Thirty-six, twenty-one, thirty-five

I tell you girls grow up faster than boys do
So, baby, I'm old enough for you

Girls grow up faster than boys do
Girls grow up faster than boys do
Girls grow up faster ..... FADE
