The Modern Lovers - Not Yet Three lyrics
[The Modern Lovers - Not Yet Three lyrics]
Could you sleep at a time like this?
Hearin' Oldsmobiles travelin' from
Town to town i hear the older kids run past
The trees in the mist
I hear them laugh in the breeze
As the sun goes down
You think I should be fadin' now (Ah)
That's because I'm not yet three (Ah)
But, my strength still ain't abatin' now
I'm stronger than you
You're simply bigger than me
Well, yonder the sun has turned
The town bright yellow (Ah)
I love twilight more than you do, hello (Ah)
You don't love twilight as much as me
Why don't you take the nap
And let the baby be?
You think I should be tirеd now (Ah)
But, my body is all inspired now (Ah)
And, yes, it's true that I'm not yеt three
But I'm stronger than you
You're simply bigger than me
Look, I sat up in my crib
And you didn't like that
So, now, I have to lie down flat on my back
I can't get outta this thing
I can't get outta here
But if you think I'm sleepin'
Oh, no, that's all mistaken, that's right
You think I should be dozin' now (Ah)
But my cheeks are still a-rosin' now (Ah)
And, yes, it's true that I'm not
Yet three doesn't matter
I'm stronger than you
You're simply bigger than me
Well, now if what you've done is growin' up
I hate to clue ya
I just plain don't like you and
I'm tellin' this to ya
You know about history and geometry
But you don't know enough to
Just let the baby be
And you think I should be tired now (Ah)
That's because I'm not yet three (Ah)
My body's all inspired now
In fact, I'm stronger than you
You're simply bigger than me, okay
(La la la la, la lee ah, la-lo)
Yes (La la la la, la lee ah, la-lo)
La la la la, la lee ah, la-lo
(La la la la, la lee ah, la-lo)
La la la, lee ah la, lo
(La la la, lee ah la, lo)
Yeah (La la, lee ah la, lo)
