Why, tell me why, I’ve lost my mind
Why do I try make you mine
I’ve been a clown, you’ve played your part
Then I fell down, broke my heart
Darling be mine, don’t you hear
Now’s the time, are you crying?

Please be just mine, I’ll be proud
Life will be fine, say it loud

And I’ll try to be near
As near as I can
And I’ll stay here like your man
Darling be mine, don’t you hear
Now’s the time, are you crying?

Darling be mine, don’t you hear
Now’s the time, are you crying?

My through the girls I have known
I’ll hold this love of my own

And I’ll try to be near
As near as I can
But you’re sixteen, I’m just ten
Darling be mine, don’t you hear
Now’s the time, are you crying?

Sweetheart, stop crying
Will you stop crying
Oh, please stop crying
