She tried to peel me off the pavement Tried to insinuate sometimes I am in danger of going too far Asked me would I like to go for tea and toast Get your hand off my thigh In the car she turned to me and said You're not nineteen forever, pull yourself together I know it seems strange but things, they change Older woman and a younger man Both of them doing all they can Tried to get your attention all night long Asked you once, I asked you twice, asked you four times If you'd like to dance to that song Front crawled the crowd down the stairs And I followed you out in the rain, nowhere to be found Never mind, you'll probably never look that pretty again You're not nineteen forever, pull yourself together I know it seems strange but things, they change Older woman and an ever so slightly younger man God bless the band, they're doing all they can You're not nineteen forever You're not nineteen forever You're not nineteen forever It's not big, it's definitely not clever
