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
