We've been crippled in love, short changed, hung out to dry   We've chalked on the walls a slogan or two about life   Stood dazed in the doorway, the king and queen of clowns   We've been flipped like a coin, both of us landing face-down      So please, please, let me grow old with you   After everything we've been through, what's left to prove   so please, please, please, oh please let me grow old with you      We've been living with sorrow, been up, down and all around   We've buried our feelings a little too deep in the ground   Stood dazed in the doorway, the king and queen of clowns   We've been flipped like a coin, both of us landing face-down      So please, please, let me grow old with you   After everything we've been through, what's left to prove   so please, please, please, oh please let me grow old with you      But tied to the same track, the two of us look back   At oncoming trains ahead   How many more times can we lay on the line   Watching our love hang by a thread      So please, please, let me grow old with you   After everything we've been through, what's left to prove   so please, please, please, oh please   let me grow old with you   please, please, please, oh please   let me grow old with you
