The days of wine and roses

Were a long time ago

The proms, teenage cruisin'

And the picture show

You tried so hard 

To fix your outsides

Until you realized that I took 

Everything dear inside



Chorus

Give me your heart

Give me your soul

I'll take you when you're young

The devil in Miss Jones



Your daddy had a funny way

Of showing you his love

It's a shame you've hid well

From the Lord up above

There's something inside 

That burns like a fire

And you realize you've been blessed

With a wild desire



Repeat Chorus



Your parochial background

Vanished in the wind

Perhaps a pornographic future

And a million dollar friend

You tried so hard to always be the one

You're loved by all men, but respected by handgun



Repeat Chorus



I'll take you when you're young

And I'll leave you when you're old
