Too Young to Be Married

Too young to be free

“Too young to be married
They were going to have a baby
She swears one day she'll stay in bed
Too young to be married”
And love is free while they're supposed to be
She hears the words her mother said
Too young to be married
But what could they do?

Now they're off to get some schooling
Greets the milkman who's still yawning
I'll get a job where I get good pay
Too young to be married

She cleans the house and makes the beds

And reads the paper for a short time
Too young to be married
Too young to be married
Calls the kids, "Get out of bed"
But for now she knows she's got to keep on working
Too young to be free
But they don't mention it because they have each other
But what can they do?
After the kids have had their breakfast
She says, "I hope you have a good day"

Too young to be free

They were going to have a baby
They never hear a word she says
Husband stands to leave the table
'Cos round and round inside her head
She starts to dreams but knows she's fooling
He thinks one day soon as I'm able

They find it hard to make ends meet
