WELL I KNOW I'M ONLY 16
BUT INSIDE YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ME
I KNOW I MAY BE YOUNG TO YOU
BUT THERE'S NOTHING THAT I WOULDN'T DO
SEE I'VE HAD ROMANCE
GIRL I'M VERY SMART
I MUST HAVE LEARNED IT MUCH TOO SOON BABY
BECAUSE I'M TORN APART
HOOK:
AND BABY YOU DON'T
YOU DON'T EVEN SEE ME
ALL YOU SEE IS A YOUNG ONE
BUT I LOVE YOU ENDLESSLY
AND NO OTHER MAN
IS GONNA LOVE YOU THE WAY I DO CUZ' I LOVE YOU FROM HEART
CHORUS:
IT DON'T MATTER HOW OLD I AM IF I LOVE YOU FROM MY HEART
IT WOULD BE EASIER IF YOU FEEL THE SAME WHEN I LOVE YOU FROM MY HEART
I DON'T UNDERSTAND IF I'M A MAN WHAT'S KEEPIN US APART
CUZ' IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW OLD I AM IF I LOVE YOU FROM MY HEART
I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR EYES
I FEEL THE WAY YOU LOOK AT ME
AND I'M NOT SURPRISE CUZ' I'M EVERY BIT OF WHAT YOU NEED
SO WHAT YOU GONNA DO
YOU BETTER HURRY GIRL BEFORE I'M TAKEN
GAMES OVER MY LOVE YOU LOSE
CUZ' I'M SO TIRED OF WAITING
REPEAT HOOK
REPEAT CHORUS TIL FADEI was sitting in a diner
With a girl named Flo
She wouldn't say yes
But she couldn't say no
She said "Darling, Can I get a middle man?"
She was engaged to a fellow
On the lay a way plan
But she carried all her money
In a coffee can
She said "Darling, Can I get a middle man?"
The cook looked over
With a short order face
Dropped a fork
And he saw Flo's legs
Straightened his apron
And burnt my eggs
I got competition
Everywhere I go
These days
She was leaning on the juke box
And was lookin' real good
Like Natalie Wood
On a Pontiac hood
I said "Darling, I think I need a little hand"
Ya see, I've seen my downs
I've seen my ups
I seen miniature dogs
In coffee cups
But "Darling I ain't never seen a middle man"
Flo talked slow
Like real wet paint
She said
"A middle man's there
When the other ones ain't
He's got a left handed manner
That leans to the right
Sleeps all day
And keeps it up all night ..."
... I got an aunt in Ohio
And a boat that won't row
Some veterans insurance
And nowhere to go
"Darling, Can I be your middle man?"
(spoken)
If I could get the money in that coffee can
I could open me up a lemonade stand
Send all the kids off to Pakistan
Make Flo happy
If I can
Jerry Mahoney and Johnny B. Goode
Are gonna buy me a house in Hollywood
"Darling I think I got the perfect plan"
"We're gonna save half a dollars
And sell 'em to France
Buy us a record
And learn how to dance
And Darling I'll always be your middle
Darling Go buy a griddle
Darling I wanna be your middle man
