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 p**nographic 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
