When I'm a Little Bit Older Lyrics

When I'm a little bit older

I'll buy a house on a lake in the woods

Then you'll cry on my shoulder

I'll buy it if I can afford it

Bridges twist along the shore

Who can really ask for more?

Wading through, the water's blue

I love you more than I ought to

You know what you make me do

He kissed me smoothly, gently, with ease

When you're around I start to move

I kissed him back on his two cheeks

She told me she feels safe with me

Together, we live comfortably

Come on in, the water's good

You love me more than you should

One day, you'll make somebody

So so happy, but he won't be me

And I'll do it too, but it

Won't be you, you're not my somebody

And I find it so unfortunate

But I know it's the way it's gotta be

And I'll be honest I'm still not over you

But I know it won't be for long

Two or three afternoons a week

We'd hang around and enjoy the scene

Then when the fireflies start to glow

We'd know it was time for me to go

My mother called me on the phone

Waiting for me, cold, at home

You held me from behind and I thought"I don't wanna be alone" no-o

One day, you'll make somebody

So so happy, but he won't be me

And I'll do it too, but it

Won't be you, you're not my somebody

And I find it so unfortunate

But I know it's the way it's gotta be

And I'll be honest I'm still not over you

But I know it won't be for long
