Fourteen — текст песни (The Vandals)

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.
