And I had no eyes for her.
 A few years went by and I saw her,
 Now I'm gonna try for her.

 (Look out, baby.)
 (chorus)
 She's not the little girl I once knew
 She's not the little girl I once
 She's not the little girl I once
 She's not the little girl I once knew.

 How could I ever have known that
 She'd be what she is today.
 An' look at how her boy friend calls her.
 I'll be movin' in one day.

 (split man)
 (chorus)

 (Bow, bow, bow) Laa-do-day,
 (Bow, bow, bow) Laa-do-day,
 (Bow, bow, bow) Laa-do-day,
 (Bow, bow, bow),
 (chorus)

 She's not the little girl I once knew.
 She's not the little girl I once,
 She's not the little girl I once knew.
 She's not the little girl I once,
 She's not the little girl I once knew.
 She's not the little girl I once,
 She's not.
