I've Watched You Grow For All These Years And Shamefully Admit, I've Loved To Watch You Blossom And It's Awful Hard To Quit- Feeling These Feelings Stirring Up Inside Of Me.
You Nearly Are A Woman Now And In A Couple Years, All The Rules And
Boundaries Will Slowly Disappear, Wait Now My Child Until You Get A
Little Older, Every New Sunrise Brings Your Heart A Little Closer- To Me


CHORUS:
But I Can't Make Love To You- Because You're Fourteen Just A Peck On The Cheek As I'm Counting The Weeks Go By (why? Why?) We Can't Make Love Together- Because You're Fourteen Years Old And The Trust Of Your Mom That We're Not Doing Wrong, I Just Can't Betray-today.
Just An Ounce Of Patience We Can Still Do Things We Like-
Watch You Eat An Ice Cream Cone And Watch You Ride Your Bike
Patiently Longing For That Future Day Of Truth-
I Want To Hug And Kiss You Nearly Every Time I See You
But I Don't Want The Neighborhood To Get The Wrong Idea
There'll Come A Day When Love Like Ours Is Not A Crime
Just Give It Time-


CHORUS X2:
But I Can't Make Love To You- Because You're Fourteen Just A Hug And A Sigh From A Law Biding Guy Tonight (why? Why?) We Can't Make Love Together- Because You're Fourteen Years Old And The Trust Of Your Mom That We're Not Doing Wrong, I Just Can't Betray-today.
