She wakes up early every morning,
she gets up long before the sunshine,
greets the milkman who's still yawning
and reads the paper for a short time.
Calls the kids "Get out of bed",
they never hear a word she says.
Husband stands to leave the table,
she says "I hope you have a good day."
he thinks "One day soon as I'm able,
I'll get a job where I get good pay."
They find it hard to make ends meet.
But they don't mention it, because they have each other
and love is free, while they're supposed to be
too young to be married, too young to be free,
too young to be married, but what can they do:
they were gonna have a baby.
After the kids have had their breakfast
now they're off to get some schoolin'
she cleans the house and makes the beds
she starts to dream but knows she's foolin'
she swears one day she'll stay in bed,
but for now she knows she's got to keep on working,
'cause round and round inside her head she hears the words her mother
said:
Too young to be married, too young to be free,
too young to be married, but what could they do:
they were gonna have a baby.
Too young to be married, too young to be free,
too young to be married, but what could they do?
