[Verse 1]
Always be momma's baby, always be daddy's girl
Right now she's makin' 'em crazy
Little Red Robin' Hood, big bad world

[Chorus]
She ain't waitin' on twenty-one candles
She ain't missin' not a minutes of fun
She ain't worried 'bout one day older
Pretty little rebel on the run
She ain't trying to be hard to handle
She gonna do what a girl gonna do
She ain't waitin' on twenty-one candles
Sure ain't gonna wait on you

[Verse 2]
Can't be innocent forever, ain't never done anything
She'll tell you no but she don't mean never
Turned a corner when she turned eighteen

[Chorus]
She ain't waitin' on twenty-one candles
She ain't missin' not a minutes of fun
She ain't worried 'bout one day older
Pretty little rebel on the run
She ain't trying to be hard to handle
She gonna do what a girl gonna do
She ain't waitin' on twenty-one candles
Sure ain't gonna wait on you

[Verse 3]
Her folks want to hold her back, but they don't know how
She wants it all and she wants it all right now
Gonna get it all before the sun goes down
She ain't waitin'
She ain't missin'
She ain't worried
That girl needs kissing

[Chorus]
She ain't waitin' on twenty-one candles
She ain't missin' not a minutes of fun
She ain't worried 'bout one day older
Pretty little rebel on the run
She ain't trying to be hard to handle
She gonna do what a girl gonna do
She ain't waitin' on twenty-one candles
Sure ain't gonna wait on you
