betty gillett & david craig (usa) - seventeen and twenty-one lyrics

Loading...

[timothy]
age was creeping on me
i had just turned twenty+one
you then dawned upon me
and a new day was begun

[anne]
i was getting wrinkled
i had just turned seventeen
then my bright star twinkled
as it brought you on the scene

[timothy]
all the day and night time
it was true love that i craved
you came at the right time
and a lonely soul was saved

[anne]
oh, love was late in reaching me
i never had been kissed
and from what you’ve been teaching me
oh dear, how much i’ve missеd

i had to wait ’til i was seventeen
[timothy]
and i, in turn, ’til i was twenty+onе
when we met i asked myself quizzically
“do you only love this girl physically?”
but bigger, better, finer your appeal
my heart soon told me that my love was real
oh why, oh why, oh why did
i have to wait as i did
and mope along ’til i was twenty+one?
heigh ho, heigh ho
oh, what a blow
i had to wait ’til twenty+one

[anne]
at the age of seven
in the days of long ago
i’d have thought it heaven
if you’d been my gigolo

[timothy]
if i’d only caught you
when my blood was young and hot
then when others sought you
i’d have shot them on the spot

[anne]
let us grin and bear it
though it be a bitter pill
we cannot repair it
time alone cures every ill
[timothy]
there still is love, and plenty, too
and plainly to be seen
think! i might have been twenty+two
while you’d have been eighteen

[anne]
i had to wait ’til i was seventeen

[timothy]
and i, in turn, ’til i was twenty+one

[anne]
years and years i moped and sat tragically
you appeared—i changed like that, magically
it’s you who caused my sleeping heart to wake
when you came round i really got a break
you’ve made life gay and fresher
you gave me high blood pressure
why did i have to wait ’til seventeen?
oh me, oh my
to think that i
was forced to wait ’til seventeen
