Fifteen summers
And you're trying to tell me
Just how lonely this world can be
Fifteen summers
You say you're the only
One who's had good love go badly

I can't tell you how these things happen
All of you can do is pray for love and let it be

Fifteen summers
Already you're a woman
Or lets just say you could have fooled me
There's nothing missing
Your heart strings just need tuning
But you can't wait, you want to play
The whole recital right away

And I can't tell you, how these things happen
You give your heart, hoping that someone else
Gives you love in return

Oh I can't tell you how these things happen
All of you can do is pray for love and let it be

And I can't tell how these things happen
All of you can do is pray for love
And when you do just put a word in for me.
