Jesse Winchester - It Takes A Young Girl lyrics

Rose-Rounder It takes a young girl to make an old man smile It takes a young girl to make an old man fly Why should it take a young girl To move this old heart of mine? It would take an old man too long to explain How a young girl plays an old, old game But that's just how it is, first she's yours and then she's his And that's always, always the same. It's been ten long years since I've cried It's been five, I know five since I've even tried Now why should it take a young girl To move this old heart of mine? But that's just how it is, first she's yours and then she's his And that's always, always the same.
