make 'em wait

Lyrics

my papa tell me the day would come, when i would want to love someone, he sat me down on his knee, and these are the words he said to me, one of these days you're going to reach eighteen, and all the boys you see is gonna call you a queen, you'll smile and blush and hold your head up high, but the same little boys will make you cry, so the best thing to do when you reach this age, is to be a good girl, remember what i say, you make 'em wait, and pick your dates, woah, make 'em wait, pick your dates before you make a big mistake, you know when true love comes your way, there won't be much that you will say, he'll walk right up and take you by your hand, and he'll lead you right straight to the preacher man, so the best thing to do when you reach this age, is to be a good girl, remember what i say, you make 'em wait, and pick your dates, woah, make 'em wait, pick your dates before you make a big mistake, just because they treat you nice, doesn't mean they want a wife, take your time, pick your friends, true to love never ends, though the dog will have his way, in the end you will pay, remember your old father's words, yea, hey, one of these days you're going to reach eighteen, and all the boys you see is gonna call you a queen, you'll smile and blush and hold your head up high, but the same little boys will make you cry, so the best thing to do when you reach this age, is to be a good girl, remember what i say, you make 'em wait, and pick your dates, woah, make 'em wait, pick your dates before you make a big mistake, you make 'em wait, and pick your dates, woah, make 'em wait, pick your dates before you make a big mistake, you make 'em wait, and pick your dates
