Get Me While I'm Young
Grandpa says you're better than the rest And I know that I can't contest 'Cause he don't like anyone Mommma says your looks are mighty fine Her grandbabies will be divine And she can't wait to hold 'em But you can't have the rest of me Until you make the best of me So start preparing 'Cause I'm young and spry and I've got fight I'm in my prime and made just right For childbearing So come with silver, come with gold Don't come when you want, just come when you're told 'Cause each day that the sky is swept with the sun I step further away from staying young So get me while I'm young So get me while I'm young My sister's been a-squealing 'Cause her beau sealed the deal and Is making her his bride And the ugliest parts of me Are teeming with jealousy Because of my own pride But it's been a while since your first court And I know that it's not a sport But I can't help but compete So if you're a man, then take a stand Let's set a date and make a plan Now get on one knee And come with silver, come with gold Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Don't come when you want, just come when you're told 'Cause each day that the sky is swept with the sun I step further away from staying young So get me while I'm young So get me while I'm young Youth is such a fleething thing And you are such a greedy thing With a diamond ring in your eye It seems that someone washed your brain With a shiny sparkling ad campaign Distorting the purpose of your life Suppose your good looks go away But I still have a job that pays You can't trade riches for youth You can't wear love on your hands Until I know you understand Don't you tell me to Come with silver, come with gold Don't come when you want, just come when you're told 'Cause each day that the sky is swept with the sun I step further away from staying young So get me while I'm young I'll get you when I want So get me while I'm young I'll get you when I want So get me while I'm young I'll get you when I want So get me while I'm young So get me while I'm young
