Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Love you so much, can't count all the ways
I'd die for you, girl, and all they can say is
"He's not your kind"

They never get tired of puttin' me down
And I never know when I come around
What I'm gonna find
Don't let them make up your mind
Don't you know

Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon, you'll need a man

I've been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they're sayin', girl, just cuts like a knife
"The boy's no good"

Well, I finally found what I've been looking for
But if they get the chance, they'll end it for sure
Sure they would
Baby, I've done all I could
It's up to you

Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon, you'll need a man

Ah girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon, you'll need a man

    This song is between a young man and his love interest who is in the midst of trying to decide whether or not he is worthy. Everyone around her keeps telling her that the man isn't good enough for her and that he is "not her kind." The man continues to persuade her however, reminding her that she is old enough to decide for herself, saying, "girl, you'll be a women soon."

Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
