Whatever you give me, I'll take as it comes Discarding self-pity, I'll manage with crumbs I'll settle for moments, I won't ask for life I'll not expect labels like lover or wife If showing affection embarrasses you I will not depend and I will not pursue
For you are younger than I Younger than I, younger than I And I am wiser than you
The one a.m. phone calls, you're here then you're gone Come when you need me, I won't carry on I'll simply accept you the way that you are Unsure and unstructured, my door is ajar
Those lemon haired ladies of twenty or so Of course, you must see them Just don't let me know Don't let me know Whatever you do
For you are younger than I Younger than I, younger than I And I am weaker than you
I'll give you a year, maybe two Maybe three, then what will happen? Where will i be? You'll still be a boy But what about me? What about me? What about me?
Why must you treat me with so little care I've so much inside me, I'm aching to share Why am I constant to someone like you? Children don't know the meaning of "true"
Those lemon haired ladies, why must you see them? All that I want in your eyes is to be them Time is on their side, that's all I lack I wish you would just go away No, come back, come back Go away, come back, go away
What in hell can I do? I'm supposed to be wise For I am older than you Older than you
You so self-centered, the games that you play Do as you please, you will anyway Of course, you will see them No use to pretend
For you are younger than I Younger than I, those lemon haired ladies And they will win in the end
