When I was much younger than I am today
All of the young ladies just couldn’t stay away
They said they really liked me would I take them out?
I said of course I would they didn’t need to shout
They said they liked the way I strutted when I walked
You should hear the other things they said when they talked
They would tell me that they loved me and I would reply
And tell them that I loved them too boy could I tell that lie
They’d give me whatever I wanted sometimes easily
After I had gotten it it was time to set them free
There really wasn’t much challenge to get into their jeans
I knew the right words to say and I had the means
But there was this one everyone said was easy
From the way they talked she must be pretty sleazy
So I gave her a try she didn’t let me get very far
We were in the back seat of my buddy’s car
I couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t put out for me
After all from what I heard she was damn easy
I thought I had lost my touch and this was the end
I was really worried; this might be a new trend
I mean how she could resist when others wouldn’t try
I really wasn’t that worried I wasn’t gonna cry
I knew I would get her; I had to be more patient
And maybe just for her some new moves I would invent
Russian hands and Roman Fingers an octopus I was called
When I would get with the girl most never even stalled
They would get right down to business just like a pro
When in all reality they really never would know
That I didn’t care for them although some did for me
And I guess I hurt them some when I set them free
But we were all much younger then now we are all grown
We can no longer be like that no seeds to be sown
It’s time to be a grown up and act like an adult
To do it any other way would sure be an insult
To the way our parents raised us from when we were little
Be careful how you treat a heart they can get real brittle
When they do get broken a lot of pain is inflicted
Though it’s not a crime you’ll never be convicted
For breaking a heart and the pain that you cause
That should be reason enough to make you want to pause
You can’t take back the hurt no matter what you do
So before you do it you better think it through
The pain can destroy some is that what you want?
If you do then forever your memories they will haunt
It is not a good thing to be cold hearted and mean
If you want to break it off you should do it clean
Then when you take a look in the mirror every day
When it all was said and done no one had to pay
That’s the way it should be now and forever more
Nobody should be hurt by someone walking out the door
