When She's Older

I've got no more coffee and I'm out of cigarettes
I've got no more breakfast
I could really use some rest

I wonder if someone would miss me
if I went and left off for days

'Cause I keep on waitin'
Guess I should stop counting days
'Cause I'll lose my baby

Time'd be laughing in my face
Hope she doesn't think she can make an honest man of me
I can't let her come that close

Still she's coming closer
I just can't resist some fun
But it may be over for her 'fore it has begun
I can't carry her upon my shoulders
I can't even walk on my own

Maybe when she's older she'll know
Maybe when she's older she'll know

It's like I can't have it
Because I don't want to lose
Wanna get to know me
Something I can't pull her through
I know that I don't need to be overprotective

She's been wet from the rain
But she's just so precious
I don't want to cause her pain
Maybe when she's older
She'll understand

Baby
You know you can trust me
I hope your boyfriend's gon' bust me (oh)
(Come on, I'm not scared)

Baby
You know you can trust me
I hope your boyfriend's gon' bust me (oh)
