It Takes Time

It takes time to grow up
Playing with dolls has to end
Toy dolls, rag dolls are one thing
Sweethearts are a new beginning

Toy dolls never complain
So little girls love them so
They can treat them anyway
But with lovers that doesn't pay

Once the toy's been put aside
And a love doll takes its place
Then playtime is done and over
And the girl must learn to cater

It takes time to grow up
It isn't always easy
But when playtime's at an end
One must give in to have a friend.
