|
The days of wine and roses |
|
Were a long time ago |
|
The proms, teenage cruisin' |
|
And the picture show |
|
You tried so hard |
|
To fix your outsides |
|
Until you realized that i took |
|
Everything dear inside |
|
Chorus |
|
Give me your heart |
|
Give me your soul |
|
I'll take you when you're young |
|
The devil in miss jones |
|
Your daddy had a funny way |
|
Of showing you his love |
|
It's a shame you've hid well |
|
From the lord up above |
|
There's something inside |
|
That burns like a fire |
|
And you realize you've been blessed |
|
With a wild desire |
|
Repeat chorus |
|
Your parochial background |
|
Vanished in the wind |
|
Perhaps a pornographic future |
|
And a million dollar friend |
|
You tried so hard to always be the one |
|
You're loved by all men, but respected by none |
|
Repeat chorus |
|
I'll take you when you're young |
|
And i'll leave you when you're old |
