Nik Venet - 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 1 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 such 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 Oh, 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're so self-centred, the games that you play Do as you please, well, 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
