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 





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.
