When a girl reach the age of 18
She begins to think she's grown
That's the kind of little girl
You can never find at home

Come and see me early in the morning
Just about the break of day
Do you want to see me hug my pillow
Where my baby used to lay?

One drink of wine
Two drinks of gin
Pretty young girl put me
In the shape I'm in

Come and see me early in the morning
Just about the break of day
Lord do you want to see me hug my pillow
Where my baby used to lay?

I pass by the juke joint
A peek through the door
She's doing the boogie-woogie
In the middle of the floor

Come and see me early in the morning
Just about the break of day
Do you really want to see me hug my pillow
Where my baby used to lay?

See when a girl reach the age of 18
She begins to think she's grown
And that's the kind of little girl
You'll never find at home

Come and see me early in the morning
Just about the break of day
Do you want to see me hug my pillow
Where my baby used to lay?
