Look Grandma Sees

Look grandma... it's another one of those fancy juke joint shows!
I did up my hair just right for this one too, you like my curly hair with these here pretty bows?

Look... momma even let me wear her pretty shoes,
Daddy gave me this here dress a week ago, and I saved all my lunch money just to get in, this here show they say, is gon' be on the news.

Look here Grandma, That man right there on the poster there... I'm gon' marry him...
watch, all the family gon' be at the wedding too, ray ray, maryetta, and even uncle charlie nem'.

You should hear how he sings grandma-how he sings......
the most beautiful songs, I am in love with him grandma I can't wait to get my wedding ring, hear those wedding bell dings and dongs!

Baby girl, you brought me here last week what happened to the other young man performing at the last show? You are so silly girl these here type come and go.

I see your hair done up all cute with your pretty dress and fancy shoes,
I also see you are chasing dreams baby, these type of men aint right for girls you.

That poster aint what it looks like baby girl, it's nothing real.
You ain't gonna marry the man in that poster I don't care how you feel.

Baby girl, just because he sounds good doesnt mean he is good. Watch for these young men who sing love in speech but in selfish deeds do deny therefore in practice they certainly would.

Come my baby girl, lets go home,
you still need time to grow up, you clearly a young woman, but still aint grown.
