Hollies - Too Young To Be Married lyrics

(Hicks)

She wakes up early every morning

She get up long before the sunshine

Greets the milkman who's still yawning

And reads the paper for a short time

Calls the kids "Get out of bed"

They never hear a word she says

Husband stands to leave the table

She says "I hope you have a good day"

He thinks "One day soon as I'm able

I'll get a job where I get good pay."

They find it hard to make ends meet

But they don't mention it because they have each other

An love is free while they're supposed to be ...

Too young to be married

Too young to be free

Too young to be married

But what could they do, they were going to have a baby

After the kids have had their breakfast

Now they're off to get some schooling

She cleans the house and makes the beds

She starts to dreams but knows she's fooling

She swears one day she'll stay in bed

but for now she knows she's got to keep on working

'Cos round and round inside her head

She hears the words her mother said ...

chorus

Too young to be married

Too young to be free

Too young to be married

But what could they do?
