[Verse 1:]
|
When I'm 22
|
I'll be one year older than 21
|
and all my problems will have just begun
|
like you said they should
|
But I'm 20 now
|
Been in love with you forever how
|
Maybe you might marry me when I'm 23
|
or 24
|
or one year more you would
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
I'll lay and wait for all eternity
|
Cause I know when you're done with all the others
|
you'll come back to me
|
Eventually
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Will I ever get to be
|
Will I ever get to be
|
Will I ever get to be
|
be your girl?
|
Will I ever bear your name;
|
Will I ever swing your chain;
|
Will I ever be yours to claim
|
Ooh ohh
|
before I'm 22?
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
When I'm 25
|
I'll be one year younger than 26
|
Just look how much of the world I've missed
|
staring in your eyes
|
But it's worth the wait
|
Please, before I'm 28
|
and my hair turns gray
|
or my bosom drapes
|
Please, make up your mind
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
I'll lay and wait for all eternity
|
I know when you're done with all the others
|
you'll come back to me
|
Eventually
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Will I ever get to be
|
Will I ever get to be
|
Will I ever get to be
|
be your girl?
|
Will I ever bear your name;
|
Will I ever swing your chain;
|
Will I ever be yours to claim
|
Ooh ohh
|
before I'm 22?
|
|
[Break:]
|
Before I'm 22
|
will I be with you?
|
Will you make me your baby?
|
Before I'm 23
|
will you marry me?
|
Tell me or I'll go crazy
|
|
When I'm 22
|
I'll be one year older than 21
|
and all my problems will have just begun
|
like you said they should
|
But it's worth the wait
|
Please, before I'm 28
|
or my hair turns gray
|
or my bosom drapes
|
Please, make up your mind
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Will I ever get to be
|
Will I ever get to be
|
Will I ever get to be
|
be your girl?
|
Will I ever bear your name;
|
Will I ever swing your chain;
|
Will I ever be yours to claim
|
Ooh ohh
|
before I'm 22?
