She's Older Now

(앨범: Wright Back At You - 1983)

I used to be naive, but understanding
I listened to every word he had to say
He was like Confucius with words of wisdom
A light to light me on my way

But I don't listen to the words no more
I know what I'm looking for
Someone opened the door to the light of day

(Because she's older now) said I'm older now
(She's older now) don't need you to show me how
(Because she's older now) said I'm colder now
And it's over now (now)...

Maybe you're not the man I thought you should be
Maybe I'm not the woman you once knew
But there's still a faded magic shining in my eyes
This woman I've become is too much for you

So let's be happy with what we've had
Things didn't turn out that bad
At least a little of our dream came true

(Because she's older now) said I'm older now
(She's older now) time has taught me how
(Because she's older now) said I'm older now
And it's over now (now)...

Didn't know I'd grow up in a hurry
So what's the use in saying I'm sorry?
Nothing stays the same

(Because she's older now) said I'm older now
(She's older now) I don't need you to show me how
(Because she's older now) said I'm older now
And it's over now (now)...

I'm finally using, huh, my own brain
And I can tell the sunshine from the rain
I'm older now, and it's over now (now)
I dress myself, and I comb my own hair
And I go to the places you think I wouldn't dare
I'm older now, time has taught me how – hey, I said
Take a good look at your baby
She's done become a lady, I'm older now
And I don't need ya, I don't need ya
I don't need ya, I don't need ya, I don't need ya
I said that I-I, I said that I-I, said I'm older now (now), hey
(She's older now) time has taught me how
I'm older now, and it's over now
'Cause I'm colder now, time has taught me how
And it's over now, said it's over now
And I don't need ya, I don't need ya
I'm older now, I'm older now
I could show you how

You can't treat me like a little girl
'Cause I've been all around the world
I'm older now, time has taught me how (how)
Hey, take a good look, look at me
Said I'm a woman totally
I'm older now, and it's over now
Oh I'm, I'm fully grown
I've got a baby of my own
I'm older now, and it's over now (now)
Thank you, baby, for raising me
To be this woman, this lady, I'm older now
And I don't need ya, I don't need ya
I don't need ya, I don't, I don't, I don't need ya
(She's older now) I said that I-I, I said that I-I
Said I'm older now (now)
Hey, took a good look in the mirror
The picture got a whole lot clearer
I'm older now, to tell you the truth
I could show you how...
