TENDERNESS ON THE BLOCK
(Jackson Browne / Warren Zevon)

Mama, where's your pretty little girl tonight
She's trying [bad word] before she can walk - that's right
She's growing up
She's got a young man waiting
She's growing up
She's got a young man waiting
She's got wide eyes
She'll be street-wise
To the lies
And the jive talk
But she'll find [bad word] love
And tenderness on the block

Now Daddy, don't you ask her when [bad word] home
And when she's back don't ask her where she's been, no no
She's going out
She's got a young man waiting
She's going out
She's got a young man waiting
She'll be okay
Let her have her way
'Cause it's a long way
It's a long walk
But she'll find [bad word] love
And tenderness on the block

I know how much it hurts to see her go
But she's got a mind of her own, you know
She's all grown up
She's got a young man waiting
She's all grown up
and got a young man waiting
She was wide-eyed
Now she's street-wise
To the lies
And the jive talk
But she'll find [bad word] love
And tenderness on the block
Yes she's going to find [bad word] love
And tenderness on the block
