Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She used to run when you raised your hand
She ain't a child no more (She ain't a child no more)
She was too young then to understand
She ain't a child no more (She ain't a child no more)
[Verse 2]
Came home drunk in the middle of the night
Screamin' and swingin' 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)
[Verse 3]
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)
[Verse 4]
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)
[Verse 5]
Boom-boom, boom-boom
Boom-boom, boom-boom
(She ain't a child no more)
(She ain't a child no more)
[Verse 6]
You could only have the love of your child
She ain't a child no more, yeah (She ain't a child no more)
[Verse 7]
Now listen, used to think she'd 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)
[Verse 8]
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'd toe the law
She ain't a child no more (She ain't a child no more)
[Verse 9]
She ain't a child no more, no-no-no (No-no-no, she ain't a child)
She ain't a child, she's all grown up (No-no-no, she ain't a child)
No-no-no, she ain't a child no more (No-no-no, she ain't a child)
Takin' no mess, no, no more (No-no-no, she ain't a child)
She's puttin' the fight down, oh yeah (No-no-no, she ain't a child)
She ain't a child no more, no more cryin' (No-no-no)
