Don’t Tell Me

[Verse 1]
Lay with me, oh, tonight, my sweet darling
We will last, oh, until midday
Don't give a damn what the people are talkin'
I don't give a damn what the people may say
Hey there, girl, I remember you up in high school
You would jib and you'd jab at us all
But I see that this life ain't been easy
Man, you look heavy, oh, soon you may fall

[Chorus]
But don't tell me I must be so old
Don't think that we must be so young
Don't feel they have all those answers
They don't know where, oh, we come from
But when you look into these eyes
I hope you see a child's face
For the only thing in my lifе
We've evеr done without disgrace

[Verse 2]
Hey, old man, I remember you in Minnesota
What you doin' on that color TV?
You got queens, you got queens to the castle
They're locked in the tower, old man, you got the key
Hello children, oh yes, it's me, father
Locked away in a cave all alone
But I'm here, oh, I'm here at the table
Come and hold me, for yes, I am home

[Chorus]
But don't tell me I must be so old
Don't think that we must be so young
Don't feel they have all those answers
They don't know where, oh, we come from
But when you will look into these eyes
I hope you see a child's face
For the only thing in my life
We've ever done without disgrace

[Outro]
Well, I believe, oh, in love
Sweet darling, in love
Well, I believe in love, no, I don't believe in hate
