Lyrics

Too (Gmaj9)young

to go stead y.

(Em11)Too young, I hear (Am9)him say.

He (E7#5)says

we’re (Gm11)not read y,

but then why am I feel ing (Am9)this way?

Too young, so he tells me.

He says we’ll have (A13)to wait.

(B)Why wait

’til it may be

too late?

Can’t he see he drives (G#dim)me wild?

Is he made of stone?

(Bm11)Must he al ways treat me like a child?

Won’t (F#7#5)he ev er own up?

I’m grown up.

Some day

he’ll be sor ry,

some day,

just wait and (C#)see.

He’ll (E7#5)wish

he’d gone stead y

with me.

(Gmaj9)young

to go stead y.

(Em11)Too young, I hear (Am9)him say.

He (E7#5)says

we’re (Gm11)not read y,

but then why am I feel ing (Am9)this way?

Too young, so he tells me.

He says we’ll have (A13)to wait.

(B)Why wait

’til it may be

too late?

Can’t he see he drives (G#dim)me wild?

Is he made of stone?

(Bm11)Must he al ways treat me like a child?

Won’t (F#7#5)he ev er own up?

I’m grown up.

Some day

he’ll be sor ry,

some day,

just wait and (C#)see.

He’ll (E7#5)wish

he’d gone stead y

with me.

he’d gone stead y

with (Gmaj9)me.

Boo da vee da,

da ee ah oh ah, (G)ay.
