A fresh but retro sounding pop song
Music/Lyrics/Singing/Playing/Disco Ball Operator/Arranging/Recording: Tom O'Brien

"When she gets wise" is about that time when a girl loses her virginity, sheds her innocence and begins to see guys in a different light.
|
You know it's just a matter of time
Till she sees you for what you are
You got her with a nursery rhyme
And you took it just a little too far
The last tears of her innocence
Will trickle from her eyes
When she gets wise
You saw her in her Mary Jane shoes
And pictured her in four inch heals
With everything that she has to lose
She is still not as old as she feels
But she can't go back again
No matter how she tries
When she gets wise
When she gets wise
She'll begin to be cynical
When she gets wise
She might boss you around
When she gets wise
She won't hold out for miracles
And Goldilocks will never be found
Imagine all the things you would say
If she were not a bit of a child
If you could teach her something today
To protect her from the world so wild
You might give your heart to her
So you're not just another one of the guys
When she gets wise
(Chorus)
Girls are never sweeter than this
When girlfriends are all they need
Dreaming of a special kiss
But innocent in world and deed
But she'll become such a pro
At catching every one of your lies
When she gets wise
(Chorus)
