Vandals The Fourteen Lyrics

Fourteen Lyrics

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 

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


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

I 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

But I can't make love to you
Because you're
fourteen 
Just a hug and a sigh 
From a law abiding guy tonight

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

Oh
no I can't make love to you
Because you're fourteen 
But Just a peck on
the cheek 
As I'm counting the weeks go by 

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
