They say a girl turns into a woman
When all of her curves fall right into the perfect places
Yeah, they say it happens when she goes and gives it away
To a guy in the backseat of his Chevrolet
Yeah, that's how they paint it
But I'll tell ya that ain't it
It's when she finds her voice and knows how to say no
When she looks in the mirror likes what's under her clothes
She puts down the drink and knows when to go home
When she leaves the guy 'cause she's better alone
It's loving who she is when nobody's looking
That's when a girl turns into a woman
No, it ain't when she paints her lips red
Or puts on high heels
Throws on a tight dress
It's knowing the heart of the girl wearing it
Wish I could go back and tell her back then
When she finds her voice and knows how to say no
When she looks in the mirror likes what's under her clothes
She puts down the drink and knows when to go home
When she leaves the guy 'cause she's better alone
It's loving who she is when nobody is looking
That's when a girl turns into a woman, ooh
That's when a girl turns into a woman, ooh
When she finds her voice and knows how to say no
She looks in the mirror likes what's under her clothes
She puts down the drink and knows when to go home
When she leaves the guy 'cause she's better alone
It's loving who she is when nobody's looking
That's when a girl turns into a woman
Yeah, that's when I turned from a girl to a woman
