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 pornographic future And a million dollar friend You tried so hard to always be the one You're loved by all men, but respected by handgun
Repeat Chorus
I'll take you when you're young And I'll leave you when you're old ~
