Who are you?
Ms. Fast Girl?
You sure that's you?
You went from training wheels to
training bras,
from rides with Daddy to rides with boys under the stars,
nervous and confused to calm and cool.
From loving school to skipping school and from one piece
to two pieces in the pool.
Short skirts and do your own makeup.
So much time you take up.
Chill, what's the deal?
They say oh like you don't know!
They say slow down little girl,
Ms. “Thing Thing,” Ms. Fast Girl,
You're not getting any older than I am younger,
so take my advice because you got all the time in the world
