22 Lyrics by Priscilla Renea

22

[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?
