Intro verse 1 Laura is changing, she's almost a teen She's starting to act mature She doesn't go in for the games that she'd played But then again she's mature Johnny, her neighbour, is still just a kid And he can't yet quite understand Why Laura won't play with him like before She won't even hold his hand verse 2 On Sundays they'd swing on the swings and then They'd climb on the jungle gym Laura would crush him and how they'd laugh Things were much better then Hopscotch and skiprope and captain may I Were some of their favourite games But without Laura playing it's just no fun Nothing is quite the same verse 3 The Friday night dances are coming soon And Laura will surely be there But Johnny is worried, he can't understand Why Laura is cutting her hair The way that she talks is quite different now The words sound so funny and weird But Johnny, don't worry, it's time you were told That Laura's just getting old
