"Let Me Die Young"

(verse 1:)
I don't want to grow old or grow up to be alone
I don't want to be looking out four walls made of stone
I just want to look into a woman's lovely eyes
I just want to be loved and not have to question why
I don't want to live in a big house by myself
I don't want to be always hoping for someone else
I just want a lady to hold and to love
And every day I cry out to the Lord above

(chorus:)
If I must spend my life alone, let me die young
If being grown means being lonely, let me die young
If I never feel a lover's touch
Or anything as such, let me die young
Oh Lord, won't you let me, let me die young

(verse 2:)
I don't want to be a prisoner of a love I'll never know
I don't want to try it, if the love will never show
I just want to stop all this madness in my head
What good is a hunger, if the hunger is never fed?

(chorus:)
If I must spend my life alone, let me die young
If being grown means being lonely, let me die young
If I never feel a lover's touch
Or anything as such, let me die young
Oh Lord, won't you let me, let me die young

(verse 3:)
I don't want a friend who pretends to be my lover
I just want a little love that I can discover
God, if you hear me, please listen to my plea
Come down here and take me away
If there's no one here for me

(chorus:)
If I must spend my life alone, let me die young
If being grown means being lonely, let me die young
If I never feel a lover's touch
Or anything as such, let me die young
Oh Lord, won't you let me, let me die young
