lyrics

You tell me you love me, you tell me you do
You tell me forever, I wish it were true
And I'm sorry to say that I love you too
But I'm much too old for a boy like you

I'll write you a letter to give to your Dad
Saying you're the best lover that I've ever had
And you make me so happy you make me so sad
'Cause I'm much too old for a boy like you

I'm much too old to believe in love
I'm much too old to succeed in love
I'm much too old to be in love
And I'm much too old for a boy like you

I'm much too old to play this game
Not too old to take the blame
And it isn't that I feel ashamed
But I'm much too old for a boy like you

It's not that I'm clever it's not that I'm wise
It's not that I don't have tears in my eyes
But the truths we know now will later be lies
And I'm much too old for a boy like you

I'm much too old to believe in love
I'm much too old to succeed in love
I'm much too old to be in love
And I'm much too old for a boy like you

You tell me you love me, you tell me you do
You tell me forever, I wish it were true
And I'm sorry to say that I love you too
But I'm much too old for a boy like you
