Wikipedia:
Gary Puckett and the Union Gap had been working with CBS record producer and songwriter Jerry Fuller but by 1969 they wanted to write and produce their own material. Puckett resented singing the power ballads written by Fuller. They returned to the charts in 1969 with This Girl Is a Woman Now, produced by Dick Glasser, but later releases failed to chart. The group disbanded in 1971.

Lyrics:
This girl walked in dreams
Playing in a world of her own
This girl was a child
Existing in a playground of stone
Then one night her world was changed
Her life and dreams were rearanged
And she would never be the same again
