Janet, I believe that it's about time that

We stopped to talk things over

There's a lot of things about life

Janet, you're too young to understand

You think life with me is like a field of clover

I can satisfy you now but I won't

Always be this much a man



Janet, there's not too much chance that we're gonna

Make it through this night together

And the reason I'm believin' is there's

More than twenty years between our age

Right now skies are bluer, later on,

Will come the stormy weather

Life is like a book and let me tell ya, Janet

I've read every page



You find satisfaction and contentment just

Lyin' here bein' my embrace

Let me tell you once again, that you'll wake up

Some mornin' and be lookin' in some old and wrinkled face



But I can't make you understand while you're lyin' here

And cryin' like you're cryin' now

And it's hard to think while kissin' you

For no one else can kiss me like you can

And all the time you're tryin' to reassure me

That my youth ain't dyin' now

That I'll never be too old

That I'll always be this much a man



You keep on a-tellin' me that you that don't expect

No more from life than I can give

Janet, I'm just fool enough to try to be that big a fool

If that's the way you think you want to live

Janet, I'm just fool enough to try to be that big a fool

If that's the way you think you want to live
