Sharon Jones And The Dap-Kings - She Ain't A Child No More lyrics

She'd just run when you raised a hand She ain't a child no more (She ain't a child no more) She was just too young then to understand She ain't a child no more (She ain't a child no more) Came home drunk in the middle of the night Screaming and swinging with all of your might But a child couldn't put up a fight She ain't a child no more (She ain't a child no more) Poor little girl she had to grow up quick She ain't a child no more (She ain't a child no more) Her heart's still soft, but her skin got thick She ain't a child no more (She ain't a child no more) How could a mother be so reckless and wild? Put your kid through such torture and trial You could only have the love of your child She ain't a child no more (She ain't a child no more) (She ain't a child no more) (She ain't a child no more) You could only have the love of your child She ain't a child no more She ain't a child no more Now listen, used to think she done something wrong She ain't a child no more (She ain't a child no more) Now her body and her mind has grown strong She ain't a child no more (She ain't a child no more) I bet you never thought she'd grow up so tall Stand eye to eye, toe to toe with her ma You know you never thought she toed the law She ain't a child no more (She ain't a child no more) She ain't a child no more No, no, no, she ain't a child No, no, no, she ain't a child No, no, no, she ain't a child No, no, no, she ain't a child No, no, no, she ain't a child No, no, no, she ain't a child
