Tenderness on the Block

She's gonna find true love
She's goin' out, she's got a young man waitin', mmm, hmm
(She's gonna find true love)

She's gonna find true love
She's gonna find true love
And tenderness on the block
Now I know how much it hurts to see her go
But she'll find true love
(She's gonna find true love)
(Find true love)

She's growin' up, she's got a young man waitin'
She's all grown-up, she's got a young man waitin'
She's growin' up, she's got a young man waitin'
She was wide-eyed, now she's streetwise
She's gonna find true love
She was wide-eyed, now she's streetwise
And when she's back, don't ask her where she's been, no, no
She's gonna find true, true, true love

And she'll be okay, let her have her way
She's gonna find true love
She's gonna find true love
To the lies and the jive talk
To the lies and the jive talk
And tenderness on the block, yeah

Guess what, she's gonna find true love
(She's gonna find true love)

And tenderness on the block
'Cause it's a long way, it's a long walk
She's goin' out, she's got a young man waitin', yeah
She's wide-eyed, she'll be streetwise
She's gonna find true love, ooh

But she's got a mind of her own, you know
She's gonna find true love
She's gonna find true love
She's gonna find true love
But she'll find true love
Now daddy, don't you ask her when she's comin' home
(She's gonna find true love)

(Find true love)
(Find true love)
Oh, she's all grown-up, ain't got no young man waitin', no, no

Oh, she's gonna find true love
(She's gonna find true love)
She's gonna find true love
Oh, she's gonna find true love
But she'll find true love, oh

Oh yeah
She's gonna find true love, mmm
(Find true love)
(She's gonna find true love, she's gonna find true love)

And tenderness on the block, mmm, hey
She's gonna find true love
To the lies and the jive talk
