george gershwin - 17 and 21 كلمات أغنية

(verse)
[tommy]
age was creeping on me
i had just turned 21
you then dawned upon me
and a new day was begun

[ann]
i was getting wrinkled
i had just turned 17
then my bright star twinkled
as it brought you on the scene

[tommy]
all the day and nighttime
it was true love that i craved
you came at the right time
and a lonely soul was saved

[ann]
oh, love was late in reaching me
i never had been kissed
and from what you’ve been teaching me
oh dear, how much i’ve missed!

(chorus 1)
[ann]
i had to wait till i was 17

[tommy]
and i, in turn, till i was 21
when we met i asked myself quizzically
“do you only love this girl physically?”
but bigger, better, finer your appeal
my heart soon told me that my love was real
oh why, oh why, oh why did
i have to wait as i did
and mope along till i was 21?

(chorus 2)
[ann]
i had to wait till i was 17

[tommy]
and i, in turn, till i was 21

[ann]
years and years i moped and sat tragically
you appeared. i changed like that, magically
it’s you who caused my sleeping heart to wake
when you came round i really got a break
you’ve made life g-y and fresher
you gave me high-blood pressure
why did i have to wait till 17?
hi-ho, hi-ho

[tommy]
oh, what a blow!

[both]
i/you had to wait till 17
