People, don't you worry
I know what I'm doing
I know what love's all about
This little girl won't
Make a fool out of me
Cause I'm gonna
Straighten her out

Ba ba ba, oh, oh......

This little girl is just about
As mean as they come
She is now

She don't even act nice
Once in a while like some
Oh, yeah, oh, whoa

Trouble is her middle name
But I'm glad thats the way she came
I could be the one to tame
This little girl, oh, yeah
This little girl won't
Like me very much at first
She won't now

And after a while
She's gonna think that
I'm the worst, oh, yeah

Well, I won't treat her with kid gloves
I won't shower her with lots of love
But I'll make an angel of this little girl

Oh, this little girl tries to
Make every man a slave, whoa, yeah
But this little man is gonna
Take her by the hand and I'm
Gonna show her the way to behave
This little girl is kinda
Used to getting her way
But no more now
There'll be some changes made
Starting today, whoa

I said now
Everyone'll be surprised
When I cut her down to size
And no one's gonna recognize
My little girl, tell you again now

This little girl, I'm a man now
This little girl
I'll tell you again now
My little girl, oh, yeah...
