Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We've been crippled in love, short-changed, hung out to dry

We've chalked on the walls a slogan or two about life

Stood dazed in the doorway, the king and queen of clowns

We've been flipped like a coin, both of us landing face down

[Verse 2]

So, please, please let me grow old with you

After everything we've been through, what's left to prove?

So, please, please, please, oh, please let me grow old with you

[Verse 3]

We been livin' with sorrow. Been up, down and all around

We've buried our feelings a little too deep in the ground

Stood dazed in the doorway, the king and queen of clowns

We've been flipped like a coin, both of us landing face down

[Verse 4]

So, please, please let me grow old with you

After everything we've been through, what's left to prove?

So, please (Please), please (Please), please (Please), oh, please

Let me grow old with you

[Verse 5]

But tied to the same track, the two of us look back

At oncoming trains ahead

How many more times can we lay on the line

Watching our love hang by a thread

[Verse 6]

So, please, please let me grow old with you

After everything we've been through, what's left to prove?

So, please (Please), please (Please), please (Please), oh, please

Let me grow old with you

Please (Please), please (Please), oh, please

Let me grow old with you
