I shouldn't stay here and love you
 More than I do
 Cause you're so much younger than I am
 Come up the years, come up the years
 And love me, love me love me

 A younger girl keeps hanging around
 One of the loveliest I've ever found
 Blowin' my mind, stealin' my heart
 Somebody help me 'fore I fall apart.

 I ought to get going
 I shouldn't stay here and love you
 More than I do
 Cause you're so much younger than I am
 Come up the years, come up the years
 And love me, love me love me

 The things she's doing keep turning me on
 And I've been happy to go right along
 I know it's time that I said goodbye
 I know I can't leave no matter how hard I try.

 I ought to get going
 I shouldn't stay here and love you
 More than I do
 Cause you're so much younger than I am
 Come up the years, come up the years
 And love me, love me love me
