I ought to get going 

 I shouldn't stay here and love you 

 More than I do 

 Cause you're so much younger than I am 

  

 Come up the years, come up the years 

 And love me, love me love me 

 A younger girl keeps hanging around 

 One of the loveliest I've ever found 

 Blowin' my mind, stealin' my heart 

 I ought to get going 

 Somebody help me 'fore I fall apart. 

  

 I shouldn't stay here and love you 

 More than I do 

 Cause you're so much younger than I am 

 Come up the years, come up the years 




 And love me, love me love me 

  

 And I've been happy to go right along 

 The things she's doing keep turning me on 

 I know it's time that I said goodbye 

 I know I can't leave no matter how hard I try. 

 I ought to get going 

  

 More than I do 

 I shouldn't stay here and love you 

 Come up the years, come up the years 

 Cause you're so much younger than I am 

 And love me, love me love me
