Sherpa (Tibetan: "eastern people", from shar "east" and pa "people") are an ethnic group from the most mountainous region of Nepal, high in the Himalayas.
Sherpa as a surname appears to be the result of the Nepalese government census takers. Not recognizing that some people only have one name, they wrote the word on census forms in the space for last name. In some cases the clan name was written and in others the ethnicity, i.e. Sherpa. These have then been adopted or forced to be used as last names, last names not being a part of Sherpa culture. A similar effect is seen with the Karen people, who also do not traditionally have more than one name and are a mobile mountain folk.
Most Sherpa people live in Nepal's eastern regions; however, some live farther west in the Rolwaling valley and in the Helambu region north of Kathmandu. Tengboche is the oldest Sherpa village in Nepal. The Sherpa language belongs to the south branch of the Tibeto-Burman languages; however, this language is separate from Lhasa Tibetan and unintelligible to Lhasa speakers.
Don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up on me - Carrie
The way you are is alright
The way you are is alright with me,
Don't you see
You're damn impatient
You think this world won't wait for you
You put your hair up
And it's put your price up, you fool
You've got yourself a foreign car
You're with the big boys now
You've got yourself an overdose
Well you're a big girl now
You wake up and it's over
You wake up and it's too late
Where did all those lines come from,
Tell me
You wonder where a day went
You wonder where a week went
But it won't be me that does it to you,
You're damn impatient
You think this world won't wait for you
You put your hair up
It's put your price up, you fool
You're sleeping with a rock star
You're with the big boys now
You threw away your training bra
Cos' you're a big girl now
You're damn impatient
You think this world won't wait
You're going into overdrive
You're with the big boys now
You're lucky if you'll survive
You're with the big boys now
You wanna be a fashion plate
Cos' you're a big girl now
Will you ever graduate
Yes you're a big girl now
