Underwood, Carrie - Little Girl Don't Grow Up Too Fast Lyrics






Little princess, summer flowers in her hair
Playing Ring Around The Rosie in a picture there
Tiptoeing 'round the house in her mama's shoes
Coloring her lips red in her bedroom

Prom queen wants to be like the magazines
Thinks she found her king, barely seventeen
Too much that the world's wanting you to do
When you're still just a child in your mama's shoes

Little girl, little girl, don't grow up too fast
'Fore you know it, you'll be wishing you could just go back
Don't you know there'll be plenty of time for that
Somewhere down the road?
Yeah, it's all gonna fly in the blink of an eye
You can't slow down this thing called life
So take your time and let it last
Little girl, don't grow up too fast

Sometimes I feel like I'm hanging on by a thread
Climbing ladders trying to get to the next step
Working hard, always wanting something more
Missing how things were simple like it was before

Cause it's hard to know just what to do
When I still feel like a child in my mama's shoes

Little girl, little girl, don't grow up too fast
'Fore you know it, you'll be wishing you could just go back
Don't you know there'll be plenty of time for that
Somewhere down the road?
Yeah, it's all gonna fly in the blink of an eye
You can't slow down this thing called life
So take your time and let it last
Little girl, don't grow up too fast

Sometimes I wish I could just go back and say
"Take your time and let it last, little girl"

Yeah, it's all gonna fly in the blink of an eye
You can't slow down this thing called life
So take your time and let it last
Little girl, don't grow up too fast
Little girl, don't grow up too fast

Underwood, Carrie Little Girl Don't Grow Up Too Fast Comments
  1. A.... B....

    Hitting the replay button

  2. A.... D....

    My biggest fear is to grow up.

  3. M.... S....

    Was forced to grow up to soon. Want to go back

  4. B.... G....

    I'm only 11 and o want to back but only cuz then half of my family would still be alive and my parents don't look so depressed and be happy again...😔😔

  5. L.... J....

    this made my bro Gf break up with him fuck this song i swear .Fuck this song

  6. s.... l....

    Graduated from middle school today... I’m not ready for the future😩🤧😭

  7. A.... M....

    I graduate high school in what 4 months, and my final exams are in 3 months time. I turn 16 in 6 months and I'm not ready to do any of those things; go to college or start work I just wanna go back to when I had no worry's whatsoever and my problems were so little and things I could tell my parents about. If I was annoyed or upset I could climb into my momma's lap and she would cradle me in her arms, and promise me that she'll make everything okay!

    God, I don't wanna grow up!

  8. H.... Q....

    I'm going to sing this to my daughter when I have one but I have a feeling I'm having a girl I'm 8 weeks pregnant and my boyfriend is so happy

  9. C.... K....

    I’m getting mixed messages here. This song tells you to take life slow because you’ll have plenty of time to do what you wanna do, but she also has Clock Don’t Stop which tells you not to waste time because tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. Lol

  10. T.... N....

    I'm 20, and I wish I could be a little girl again.

  11. B.... W....

    I'm 13 and I love this song but to be honest I don't think I'm growing up fast enough I go to my dads every other weekend and I love it there but the rest if my time I'm with my mom and sisters and my mom doesn't treat me like a daughter at all more like a babysitter and a house keeper I can't wait to be 18 and moved out

    B.... W....

    Do not think for a minute that life on your own, moved out at 18, is going to be easier or better than living with a Momma who loves you. Even if she has to rely on you for baby sitting.

    Listen to the song. Don't rush out into the world, because there are decisions in life that you make that you cannot undo.

    Pray, and try to look at life through your Momma's eyes sometimes. Hint: she is scared to death that she is going to fail you, but cannot show that to you.

  12. Z.... S....

    This song plays on my debut 😮 'A princess is now a Lady'

  13. A.... ....

    I hate it when people say they love carrie underwood and they dont even know this song

  14. J.... C....

    two weeks I'm 18 not ready to grow up yet

  15. R.... k....

    That's the tribute to the fast slipping childhood!

  16. B.... p....

  17. J.... D....

    Almost 18..😨

  18. O.... O....

    Y’all always think how your mom actually feels about you growing up too fast until you feel the lump on your throat when she gives a little talk about it😞😿

  19. D.... T....

    Kenzi story?

  20. m.... b....

    my baby cousin is 7 months old, and I’m gonna remind her of this 😂 I don’t want her to grow up she’s my favorite :)

  21. T.... S....

    yay i am a still little girl l am 9

  22. N.... L....

    This song made me cry, so true...if I had the chance for telling me something as a child...it would be that phrase

  23. S.... T....

    I’m 12 and I really want to grow up, I wanna wear high heels,wear makeup , date, drive ect. My mom is always telling not to rush my life away but I really do.when hearing this song it made me cry.

    S.... T....

  38. B.... E....

    When I was 7, I wanted to be a teenager so bad. All my cousins are older than me, I wanted to be like them so bad. Now that I’m a teenager I just want to be 7 again. Everything is so hard now, and I know it will get harder as a I get older.

  52. A.... B....

    I turn 29 in less than a month it seems like yesterday I was a little girl fishing with my daddy. I wish I stayed liked that instead of becoming a typical teenager. I moved away at 18 and never went back only go to visit about once every few months now use to be once a year but now im in the same state. Im now married with 2 little girls ages 7 and 5 and a 6 year old little boy and I am proud to say I keep the tradition of taking them fishing and will take them fishing as long as they will allow me. hopefully they don't grow up to fast.

  53. B.... W....

    Im almost 25 and i hate being grown up. 😭 i wanna be a kid again when i didnt have a worry about anything 😭😭 now im expecting my first child and my husband doesnt even want ms i dont kno what im doing anymore

  54. A.... M....

    I've told my friends I am so nervous for high school and they all say it's going to be fine and so much fun. Sometimes I just wish I was a little girl again

  55. M.... &....

    I'm 10 and I don't want to grow up yet! I'm gonna make these days count

  56. M.... G....

    I was only 10 and I was much mature than the others in my age... Now I'm 20... I wish I had heard that song back then ... I would have done a lot differently.

  57. Z.... B....

    Just had my first kiss and I am only in 6th grade so sad I wish I could tell my 5yr old self don't grow up its way to soon and u won't haft to lose any of your friends to suicide

  58. J.... G....

    Parentification kills your innocent dreams and thrusts you into the world in which unbearable weights crush you. And somehow you need to make them look like a pair of wings.

  59. R.... ....

    Just turned 14 and gonna start highschool in a few months
    I wanna be 4 again *cry*

  60. w.... ....

    I'm turning 20 this year and it's just surreal. How did time go so fast?!

  61. A.... S....

    This song makes me sad but I am a freshman in high school. I am not ready for 10th grade

  62. S.... M....

    It seems like one moment I am 5 the next thing I know I am in middle school

  63. L.... S....

    Being young is sooo much easier! why do we have to grow?! Can't I be a little girl just a bit longer?!

  64. A.... J....

    I'm going to be a 7 grader next year.And I would love have told my younger self this because I was always ready to grow up

  65. M.... S....

    How can you not grow up fast when the education system makes you chose your future when your 13? We pick our subjects and that decides where we go from there.

    M.... S....

    Yeah,i’m 12 , not even a teenager yet but it feels like yesterday i was 11, and the day before i was 10

    M.... S....

    Yeah im 14 and i have pick a job and all that

    M.... S....

    What country are you'all from..?
    I'm so confused...

    M.... S....

    In European countries like the UK and Ireland, to qualify for university you need very high grades in very specific subjects. To take those tests you need to begin a schedule of coursework that begins at around 8th grade. So in most subjects you must have your college career decided by age 14 or so.

    College is "free" in many of these places, but you cannot switch majors unless your previously completed coursework happens to also satisfy the second degree choice.

  66. K.... &....

    I so wish I could be that sweet innocent perfect little girl like it was prior to all of the bad things my abusive adoptive family done to me but I know I can’t ever get her back myself no matter what I still wish I was still her as well as I am now 17 myself too!

  67. S.... M....

    It feels like one day I am 4 the next thing I know I am picking electives for high school.

  68. A.... T....

    So true

  69. N.... B....

    Great message! I love Carrie Underwood & I wish that this song was on the regular "Storyteller" album!

  70. B.... E....

    my first question is why have i never heard this song before?? i needed it about a year ago when my life seemed to be moving so quickly and still is. Absolutly amazing song. very inspiring 💕💕💕

  71. B.... W....

    This song is for my husband and i future daughter 😘😍

  72. K.... S....

    I am a freshman this fall and I wish I could tell my 6 year old self this. I've definitely grown up too fast. Growing up really does suck. I want to be a kid again.

  73. W.... M....

    21y/o about to have a baby of my own, wondering where my childhood went, wish I could back and tell my self not to take it to fast just enjoy it

  74. J.... L....

    Almost 17 an I feel like time is just going way to fast, I look back on all the little kid things I loved and how I didn't have that much to worry bout how I wish I could just go back to that an do things over again 😭😭

  75. C.... w....

    I'm gonna be a freshman this coming fall and its kinda scary it was so simple when we were kids

  76. S.... ....

    I know people have said so, but I forget which one. Isn't there a guy version of this song? I'm a guy btw, if you couldn't tell and damn, some of these comments makes me feel so old. I'm 25.5 now and high school feels like such a blur to me now. Everybody, don't wish to grow up, enjoy the life you are living right now because you will be old before you know it and wonder where has all the time gone. Life goes by too fast so cherish the moments you have right now, cause you'll never get them back.

    I'm not really a country fan but Carrie Underwood is like the only country singer I will listen to. Part of the reason I like her is her love for sports, haha.

  77. J.... J....

    They should put this song on Spotify

    J.... J....

    AGREED!

  78. A.... R....

    Just yesterday I was turning 7...

  79. K.... G....

    Oh my goodness I'm literally crying this song is so beautiful! <3

  80. D.... M....

    I wish that I was 6 years old when I heard this song! I'm almost be 15!

  81. S.... D....

    Everyone has a boyfriend in my grade. I’m the one sitting there all by myself not growing up, living life, and not worrying what others think.
    To being kids for ever!!!!!!!!

  82. J.... E....

    Im starting my last year of highschool this august and im going to be 17 this year. I hate growing up, wish i was still like 8.

  83. t.... d....

    Ill be turning 17 in June and this song makes me so emotional.

  84. e.... b....

    I'm a freshman in college and I'm still in shock! What happened?!?! I remember playing with my little sister when we were in elementary school without a care in the world. Those of you in high school, as boring and annoying as high school may be enjoy it!!!! The next year after graduation will be filled with confusion, stress, exhaustion, hours of just pondering life, and a lot decisions you don't feel you are ready to make.

  85. K.... 7....

    I wish I could've heard this when I was 6 because I felt like I had to be 15 when I was only 8 and now here I am 15, just started high school and everything feels like too much and I don't want to grow up anymore

  91. M.... W....

    I'm in middle school next year i'll be in 7th grade and i wish i could say this to my 5 year old self

    M.... W....

    Midnight Wish There’s gonna be a lot of things you wish you could go back and say to your old self, trust me, I know, but have no regrets! Our mistakes make us who we are. Just remember and hold onto the little things in life. One day you’ll be like me and getting ready to graduate and won’t have time to still be little...

    M.... W....
