Ian, Janis - (Too Old To) Go 'way Little Girl Lyrics
Don't go out in the street, little girl
And don't go out into town
You don't know who you'll meet, little girl
There are bad men around
Your mother, she's in love with you
So go to bed at ten, let your mama tuck you in
And turn on your Mickey Mouse night-light
Then you make it with your mind
Don't go out into town, little girl
Stay safe in the house, little girl
Your mother's stares, and the Enquirer's tales
Keep you hiding, denying
Don't go into the park, little girl
Stay inside alone after dark, little girl
Boys want just one thing
Don't talk about sex, you might get hexed
God'll punish you for your dirty mind
Now, there is no escaping, and you'd enjoy a raping
Just to find out the facts of life
Mama says - maintain your pride
Don't go out into town, little girl
Stay safe in the house, little girl
Your mother's stares, and the Enquirer's tales
Keep you hiding, denying
Don't go into your mind, little girl
The windows, they're only made of glass
Don't let me catch you trying to pry, little girl
Mirrors of illusion tumble fast
You're too far gone for anyone
I'd like to help, but I can only sigh
You'd best maintain your mama's pride
'Cause you lost yours the time
You obeyed when she said "Don't fraternize"
No place to hide
Don't go out into town, little girl
Stay safe in the house, little girl
Your mother's stares, and the Enquirer's tales
Keep you hiding, denying

Ian, Janis (Too Old To) Go 'way Little Girl Comments
The documentary she's beautiful when she's angry brought me here
So sad that this song isn't in Spotify 😕
Pleas post the whole album : Pro Girl, Changing Tymes, Hair of Spun Gold, Younger Generation Blues, Please
Standard 60's stuff. Unlike the best of that decade it has dated badly. She made a good fist of it though.
agree, this doesn't hold up. too blunt, not poetic.
oh, william. oh, clancy. as a girl who is currently at home because it's too dangerous to go out after it gets dark, i can tell you it's as relevant and pertinent as it ever was.
I find most of the stuff on her first 3 albums pretty unique and i LOVE it. i can't even think of another singer anything like her. But when she made her "comeback" around '76 or whenever it was, her music was boring and sucked.
Hmm, completly disagree! "Between the lines" is a superb album and "at Seventeen" was one of her best songs...
My family and I always remembered the line,"Don't talk about sex, you might get hexed."
this album is freaking awesome !!!!!!

Don't go out in the street, little girl
and don't go out into town
You don't know who you'll meet, little girl
There are bad men around
Your mother, she's in love with you
She tells you, you shouldn't go with guys
So go to bed at ten, let your mama tuck you in
and turn on your Mickey Mouse night-light

Don't go out into town, little girl
Stay safe in the house, little girl
Your mother's stares, and the Enquirer's tales
keep you hiding, denying
Don't go into the park, little girl
You know those men are all the same
Stay inside alone after dark, little girl
Boys want just one thing
Don't talk about sex, you might get hexed
God'll punish you for your dirty mind
Now, there is no escaping, and you'd enjoy a raping
