You said you'd marry me if I was 23 00:23
But I'm one that you can't see if I'm only 18 00:27
Tell me who makes these rules 00:31
Obviously not you, who are you answering to? 00:33
Oh, Jenny don't be hasty 00:37
No, don't treat me like a baby 00:41
Let me take you where you'll let me 00:45
Because leaving just upsets me 00:49
00:52
And I'll be around again to see these other men 01:03
That are more adequate in the age department 01:07
And I did not think you'd care, there'd be no problems here 01:11
But now you're looking at me like you're disgusted 01:15
Then I'm definitely waiting for you to smile 01:18
And change your mind then I'll say I'm sorry 01:22

Lyrics & Translation

[English]
You said you'd marry me if I was 23
But I'm one that you can't see if I'm only 18
Tell me who makes these rules
Obviously not you, who are you answering to?
Oh, Jenny don't be hasty
No, don't treat me like a baby
Let me take you where you'll let me
Because leaving just upsets me
...
And I'll be around again to see these other men
That are more adequate in the age department
And I did not think you'd care, there'd be no problems here
But now you're looking at me like you're disgusted
Then I'm definitely waiting for you to smile
And change your mind then I'll say I'm sorry
And I'll wrap my arms 'round your body, I really hope
That you forgive in a hurry, and don't just ask me to leave
Oh, Jenny don't be hasty
No, don't treat me like a baby
Let me take you where you'll let me
Because leaving just upsets me
Oh, Jenny you are crazy
First I'm perfect then I'm lazy
And I was calling you my baby
Now it sounds like you just left me and it kills me, so, ooh
...
Oh, Jenny don't be hasty
No, don't treat me like a baby
Let me take you where you'll let me
Because leaving just upsets me
Oh, Jenny you are crazy
First I'm perfect then I'm lazy
And I was calling you my baby
Now it sounds like you just left me, and it kills me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah
...
You said you'd marry me if I was 23
But I'm one that you can't see if I'm only 18
