Please don't make my wedding dress
I'm too young to marry yet
Can you see my pocket knife
You can't make me be a wife
How the world just turns and turns
How does anybody learn

Momma put your needle down
How did you feel when you were young
Cause I feel like I've just been born
Even though I'm getting on
How the world slips by so fast

How does anybody last
As the world keeps coming
And the bees keep humming
And I'll keep running

Flowers I can do without
I don't wanna be tied down
White material will stain
My pocket knife's got a shiny blade
I'm not trying to break your heart
I'm just trying not to fall apart

As the world keeps coming
And the bees keep humming
And I'll keep running

Please don't make my wedding dress
I'm too young to marry yet
Can you see my pocket knife
You can't make me be a wife
