What do you think you're doing?

Boy, don't you know better than that?

You're telling her she's the prettiest,

Most beautiful woman you've ever seen.

You're giving her jewelry, music, candy

You're giving her everything she'll ever want

Bringing her up, putting her on display

Bringing her with you into your big boy world

She's only a baby

Only a baby

Only a baby

Leave her alone, it's not her time yet

Let her be

Let her be

Be the baby she is.

You make her think she's happy

Think she's grown-up and ready

You're teaching her things that she never knew

She's getting acquainted with your boyish appeal

But your hands are a man's hands

Your lips are a man's lips

You should save your kisses for a woman your age

She should save herself, for the sake of herself

She's only a baby

Only a baby

Only a baby

Leave her alone, it's not her time yet

Let her be

Let her be

Be the baby she is.

You're going to hurt her, you don't think you will

But the simple facts present themselves

She thinks that love is all fairy tale magic

You think that love is all her sex appeal

She's only a baby

Only a baby

Only a baby

Leave her alone, it's not her time yet

Let her be

Let her be

Be the baby she is.
