She’s got a face that shows that she knows she’s heard every line Tenderly she talks on the phone There’s a way to walk that says “Stay away” And a time to go around the long way

A girl in trouble is a temporary thing (Temporary, Temporary, Temporary, Temporary) A girl in trouble is a temporary thing (Temporary, Temporary, Temporary, Temporary)

There’s a time when every girl learns To use her head Tears will be saved Till they’re better spent There’s no time for her to be afraid So instead She takes care of business Keeps a cool head
