Lyrics

When I first met the little girl
I didn't know what I was doin'
Now we're all tied up
And my life is ruined
I'm scared of that child
I'm scared of that child
I'm scared of that child
I'm too young to die
She's a cute little girl
She got such a wonderful mug
When she starts to talkin'
Her voice busts a stone jug
I'm scared of that child
I'm scared of that child
I'm scared of that child
Because I'm too young to die
Oh, yeah
We had a date and I couldn't make it
That's what made her mad
Now I look in her two brown eyes
They turned green as grass
I'm scared of that child
I'm scared of that child
I'm scared of that child
Because I'm too young to die
I called my baby
And I told her I would be late
Time my baby opened the door
I looked in the barrel of a .38
I'm scared of that child
I'm scared of that child
I'm scared of that child
Cause I'm too young to die
