Tony Platt - When She's Older lyrics

[Produced by Tony Platt] I've got no more coffee and I'm out of cigarettes I've got no more breakfast I could really use some rest I wonder if someone would miss me If I went and left off for days 'Cause I keep on waitin' Guess I should stop counting days 'Cause I'll lose my baby Time'd be laughing in my face Hope she doesn't think she can make an honest man of me I can't let her come that close Still she's coming closer I just can't resist some fun But it may be over for her 'fore it has begun I can't carry her upon my shoulders I can't even walk on my own Maybe when she's older she'll know Maybe when she's older she'll know It's like I can't have it Because I don't want to lose Wanna get to know me Something I can't pull her through I know that I don't need to be overprotective She's been wet from the rain But she's just so precious I don't want to cause her pain Maybe when she's older She'll understand Baby You know you can trust me I hope your boyfriend's gon' bust me (oh) (Come on, I'm not scared) Baby You know you can trust me I hope your boyfriend's gon' bust me (oh)
