[Verse 1:] When I'm 22 I'll be one year older than 21 and all my problems will have just begun like you said they should But I'm 20 now Been in love with you forever how Maybe you might marry me when I'm 23 or 24 or one year more you would [Bridge:] I'll lay and wait for all eternity Cause I know when you're done with all the others you'll come back to me Eventually [Chorus:] Will I ever get to be Will I ever get to be Will I ever get to be be your girl? Will I ever bear your name; Will I ever swing your chain; Will I ever be yours to claim Ooh ohh before I'm 22? [Verse 2:] When I'm 25 I'll be one year younger than 26 Just look how much of the world I've missed staring in your eyes But it's worth the wait Please, before I'm 28 and my hair turns gray or my bosom drapes Please, make up your mind [Bridge:] I'll lay and wait for all eternity I know when you're done with all the others you'll come back to me Eventually [Chorus:] Will I ever get to be Will I ever get to be Will I ever get to be be your girl? Will I ever bear your name; Will I ever swing your chain; Will I ever be yours to claim Ooh ohh before I'm 22? [Break:] Before I'm 22 will I be with you? Will you make me your baby? Before I'm 23 will you marry me? Tell me or I'll go crazy When I'm 22 I'll be one year older than 21 and all my problems will have just begun like you said they should But it's worth the wait Please, before I'm 28 or my hair turns gray or my bosom drapes Please, make up your mind [Chorus:] If I ever get to be If I ever get to be If I ever get to be be your girl? If I ever bear your name; If I ever swing your chain; If I ever be yours to claim Ooh ohh before I'm 22?
