We've been crippled in love

Short changed and hung out to dry

We've chalked on the walls

A slogan or two about life

Stood dazed in the doorway

The king and queen of clowns

We've been flipped like a coin

Both of us landing face-down

So please, please

Let me grow old with you

After everything we've been through

What's left to prove?

So please, please

Please, oh, please

Let me grow old with you

We've been livin' with sorrow

Been up, down, and all around

We've buried our feelings

A little too deep in the ground

Stood dazed in the doorway

The king and queen of clowns

We've been flipped like a coin

Both of us landing face-down

So please, please

Let me grow old with you

After everything we've been through

What's left to prove?

So please, please

Please, oh, please

Let me grow old with you

But tied to the same track, the two of us look back

At oncoming trains ahead

How many more times can we lay on the line

Watchin' our love hang by a thread?

So please, please

Let me grow old with you

After everything we've been through

What's left to prove?

So please (Please), please (Please)

Please, oh, please

Let me grow old with you

Oh, please (Oh, please)

Let me grow old with you
