Too Young To Be Married

She wakes up early every morning

She gets 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 can they do?

They were gonna have a baby

After the kids have had their breakfast

Now, they're off to get some schoolin'

She cleans the house and makes the beds

She starts to dream but knows she's foolin'

She swears one day she'll stay in bed

But for now she knows she's got to keep on workin'

'Cause round and round inside her head

She hears the words her mother said

Too young to be married

Too young to be free

Too young to be married

But what could they do?

They were gonna have a baby

Too young to be married

Too young to be free

Too young to be married

But what could they do?
