KISSES ON THE WIND by Neneh Cherry [1989]

Down this wild street walks

Walks a child with no trace

Of ever being as young

As her sister is

A local neighborhood crush

The boys would hide out and watch

Her hanging washing

On the line all the time

More like a woman

She talks like one

She was the first girl

She was the first girl

To turn the boys on

Boys, boys

Wrapped around her finger

So young

Making love was only dreaming

This girl, she's got another story

When they are gone

She blows them kisses on the wind

At the corner shop

Halfway down the block

All the radios pumping

To the way she walks

Past the fly boys arm

Where her name's engraved

Sweet liberty is what it says

More like a woman

She dressed like one

She was the first girl

She was the first girl

To turn the boys on

Boys, boys

Wrapped around her finger

So young

Making love was only dreaming

This girl, she's got another story

When they are gone

She blows them kisses on the wind

The price of puberty's

Got a way of showing

It doesn't come in easy stages

Her mother's face in the pot

Won't ever leave it

She needs a bell

To ring the changes

More like a woman

She walked like one

She was the first girl

She was the first girl

To turn the boys on

Boys, boys

Wrapped around her finger

So young

Making love was only dreaming

This girl, she's got another story

When they are gone

She blows them kisses on the wind
