Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You said you'd marry me if I was 23
But I'm one that you can't see
If I'm only 18
Tell me who makes these rules?
Obviously not you
Who are you answerin' to?
[Verse 2]
Oh, Jenny, don't be hasty
No, don't treat me like a baby
Let me take you where you'll let me
Because leavin' just upsets me
[Verse 3]
And I'll be around again
To see these other men
That are adequate in the age department
And I did not think you care
There'd be no problems here
But now you're lookin' at me
Like you're disgusted
Then I'm deathly waitin' for you to smile
And change your mind
Then I'll say I'm sorry
And I'll wrap arms 'round your body
I really hope that you forgive in a hurry
And don't just ask me to leave
[Verse 4]
Oh, Jenny, don't be hasty
No, don't treat me like a baby
Let me take you where you'll let me
Because leavin' just upsets me
Oh, Jenny, you are crazy
First I'm perfect and I'm lazy
And I was callin' you my baby
Now it sounds like you just left me
And it kills me
So
[Verse 5]
Oh, Jenny, don't be hasty
No, don't treat me like a baby
Let me take you where you'll let me
Because leavin' just upsets me
Oh, Jenny, you are crazy
First I'm perfect then I'm lazy
And I was callin' you my baby
Now it sounds like you just left me
And it kills me
[Verse 6]
You said you'd marry me if I was 23
But I'm one that you can't see
If I'm only 18
