story behind the song: borrowed from the old masters (yep again) and wrote a lifetime in four to five minutes. common theme at watering holes etc.
Lyrics
when you were younger
you wouldn't believe
the only boy for you was me
when you were young girl
you couldn't see
the way i wore my heart
was upon your sleeve
when you were older
you still wouldn't see
the only man for you was me
as you were street smart
you couldn't believe
the way i wore my heart
was never to deceive
now you are old girl
why can't you believe
the only geezer for you is me
now you are wiser
why don't you see
the way i wear my heart
is in the hope our love can be
now you are wiser
why don't you believe in me?
cause when you were younger
you couldn't believe
the only boy for you was me
when you were young girl
you wouldn't see
the way i wore my heart
was in the hope our love could be
you couldn't believe in me
when you were younger
when you were younger
