Nineteen Is not the age of reason. I didn't have a reason For setting you free. I've seen A lot of love go sour. But that's not our love. You see the problem was I was only nineteen. Yeah, I was only nineteen. Finished up with high school. Headed for a state school. Wandered into you. Big screen Kissing in a movie. God, you moved me around. We got seriously down. But I was only nineteen. Chorus: All I ever wanted to do Was lie around in bed with you. I was only nineteen. I was only nineteen. I was only nineteen. I was only nineteen. I've seen A lot of love go bad now. That's not how our affair Would've wound up I swear. But I was only nineteen. Chorus I was only nineteen.
