People, don't you worry
I know what I'm doin'--I know what love's all about
Oh, this little girl won't make a fool out of me
'Cause I'm gonna straighten her out

This little girl is just about as mean as they come
She is, now, she don't even act nice once in a while, like some
Trouble is her middle name
But I'm glad that's the way she came
I can be the one to tame
This little girl

This little girl won't like me much at first
She won't, now, and after awhile she's gonna think that I'm the worst
Well, I won't treat her with kid gloves
I won't shower her with lots of love
But I'll make an angel of
This little girl

This little girl tries to make every guy her slave
But this little man is gonna take her by the hand
And I'm gonna show her the way to behave

This little girl is kinda used to gettin' her way
No more, now--there'll be some changes made, startin' today
Everyone'll be surprised
When I cut her down to size
No one's gonna recognize
My little girl
