Datin` is a game that grown-ups play
Datin` means acting in a silly way
Datin` makes girls start wiggle walking
Datin` makes a guy start baby talking

Dizzy like children on a merry-go-round
Grown-ups are the biggest kids I`ve found
You`d think they belong in a baby carriage
They`re doing things that lead to marriage
But don`t you laugh at what they do, oh no
`Cause some day you`ll be datin` too

Datin` makes a guy comb his hair just right
His girl can mess it up when they kiss good-night
Datin` makes you quarrel and say you`ll break up
And just because it`s so much fun to make up

Children can`t wait to grow up but then
They`re datin and they`re acting like kids again
You`d think they belong in a baby carriage
They`re doing things that lead to marriage
But don`t you laugh at what they do, oh no
Some day you`ll be datin` too
