We're 8 years apart
Don't play with my heart
It won't work out, it won't work out
Because we're 8 years apart
I should have known from the start
It won't work out, it won't work out

I won't let them arrest you
I'll always protect you
The older guys don't treat you right
You're searching for someone but you have found no one
I could be there tonight
She said, "are you really 18? I need to see
some id on that one"
Oh look at all this scruff,
this fluffity scruffy scruff
I'm 18 almost 19!

She's leading me on
Girl, you're leading me on
And I'm not that strong
No, I'm not that strong

We're 8 years apart
Don't play with my heart
It won't work out, it won't work out
Because we're 8 years apart
I should have known from the start
It won't work out, it won't work out

She said, "once you hit 18 we can go mating"
That's too long! that's too long!
Oh I could take you to prom
Just let me ask my mom she could drive us

You're leading me on
Girl, you're leading me on
And I'm not that strong
No, I'm not that strong

We're 8 years apart
Don't play with my heart
It won't work out (won't work out),
it won't work out (won't work out)
Because we're 8 years apart (8 years apart)
I should have known from the start
(I should have known from the start)
It won't work out (no, it won't work out)
It won't work out (no, it won't work out)

I guess we'll go our own ways until I come of age
Because we're 8 years apart
