|
I've watched you grow for all these years and shamefully admit, |
|
I've loved to watch you blossom and it's awful hard to quit feeling these feelings stirring up inside of me. |
|
You nearly are a woman now and in a couple years, all the rules and boundaries will slowly disappear, wait now my child until you get a little older, every new sunrise brings your heart a little closer- to me [Chorus:] |
|
But I can't make love to you because you're fourteen just a peck on the cheek as |
|
I'm counting the weeks go by (why? why?) |
|
We can't make love together because you're fourteen years old |
|
And the trust of your mom that we're not doing wrong, |
|
I just can't betray-today. |
|
Just an ounce of patience we can still do things we like- watch you eat an ice cream cone and watch you ride your bike |
|
Patiently longing for that future day of truth- |
|
I want to hug and kiss you nearly every time |
|
I see you but |
|
I don't want the neighborhood to get the wrong idea there'll come a day when love like ours is not a crime just give it time- [Chorus x2] |
|
But I can't make love to you because you're fourteen just a hug and a sigh from a law biding guy tonight (why? why?) |
|
We can't make love together- because you're fourteen years old |
|
And the trust of your mom that we're not doing wrong, |
|
I just can't betray-today. |
