Young and Naive Songtext

von Heather Rigdon

I love how you hate the way I always say
That you'll learn someday
I love how you keep trying to hold onto me
When I turn away
You're painting me pictures
Of Misses and Misters
And they're pictures
I'd love to believe
And that's the beautiful thing
About princes and queens
And you being
So young and naive
You say you're a man
And you swear that you can
Be the world to me
But I've seen the world
And I can't be the girl
That I think you need.
You beg me to listen
To see what I'm missing
You're takin' all "Adam and Eve"
And I'm tempted to try
But the problem is I
Am no longer so young and naive.
You look like a face in the movies
Your kiss is straight out of a dream
You treat me like I was a princess
What in the world
Is the matter with me?
It's not that I'm jaded,
But love's complicated
It's hard to see that at nineteen
I hear what you're sayin'
About having faith and
You promise me
You'll never leave.
And I wish I didn't know better
But I'm not so young and naive.
