N.B: Even though there are no congas in the original version, I decided to add them for time-keeping purposes.
4-bar intro
Verse 1: I love you so much, can't count all the ways I've died for you girl and all they can say is "He's not your kind". They never get tired of putting me down And I'll never know when I come around, What I'm gonna find. Don't let them make up your mind. Don't you know,
Chorus: Girl, you'll be a woman soon. Please, come take my hand. Girl, you'll be a woman soon. Soon, you'll need a man.
Verse 2: I've been misunderstood for all of my life But what they're saying, child, it cuts like a knife. "The boy's no good". Well I've finally found what I'm a looking for, But if they get their chance, they'll end it for sure. Surely would. Baby, I've done all I could. It's up to you.
Repeat chorus
Outro: Soon, you'll need a man. ===============================
