Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis
Older Girl
[Verse 1]
I met a girl
When I was just eighteen
Fresh out of school
Thought I knew everything
Thirteen years of reading books
Now I’m a graduate
Diploma in my hand
Off to things you learn in life
From experience
And that’s where she came in
And taught me how
To do the things
I only read about
[Chorus]
She was an older girl
Older…older…who taught me everything
Thirteen years of school
Eighteen years of being cool
Now I’m a graduate, of a…
Older girl
Older…older…she taught me all I know
Took me in her glove
Then she showed me how to love
Now I’m a graduate
Check it out
[Verse 2]
I told her friends
They said it had to end
And then I knew
That would be Lesson Two
Experience and every man
Should try this out of school
[Chorus]
She was an older girl
Older…older…who taught me everything
Thirteen years of school
Eighteen years of being cool
Now I’m a graduate, of a…
Older girl
Older…older…she taught me all I know
Took me in her glove
Then she showed me how to love
Now I’m a graduate, of a…
Older girl, oh, oh
[Bridge]
Older girls…do it right
Older girls…so ladylike
Graduate…on the honor roll
To her body…and to her soul
[Verse 3]
Thirteen years of classroom walls
When I was through, I thought I knew it all
Thirteen nights with you I found
I’m a graduate on the honor roll of an older girl
[Chorus]
Older girl (Older, older, older girl)
(Older) You taught me everything
Thirteen years of school
Eighteen years of being cool
Now I’m a graduate, of a…
Older girl
Older…older…she dropped me gentle
Showed me how to squeeze
What to kiss, what to tease
And I’m a gradu’, graduate
Older girl
Older…older…who taught me everything
She gave me my start
And I play my part
Then she broke my heart
Why’d you do it, baby?
She taught me all I know
Now I wanna say…OOH HOO!
