Dory Previn - Lemon Haired Ladies lyrics

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 Embarra**es 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 seem 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 they are Younger than i Younger than i Those lemon haired ladies And they will Win in the end.
