I'm Not a Girl Not Yet a Woman
The Baseballs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She used to think.
She had the answers to everything.
But now she knows.
Life doesn't always.
Go her way, yeah.
Feels like she is caught in the middle.
That's when she realizes.
She's not a girl - not yet a woman.
All she needs is time.
A moment in her mind.
While she'is in between.

She's not a girl.
There is no need to protect her.
It's time that she.
Learns to face up to this on her own, yeah.
She's seen so much more than you know now.
So don't tell her to shut her eyes.

She's not a girl.
But if you look at her closely.
You will see it her eyes.
This girl will always find.
Her way.

She's not a girl - not yet a woman.
All she needs is time.
A moment in her mind.
While she'is in between.

She's not a girl, don't tell her what to believe.
She's just trying to find the woman to see.
All she needs is time.
A moment in her mind.




While she's in between.
She's not a girl - Not yet a woman.
