Old Enough To Want To (fool Enough To Try), lyric by Tom T. Hall

from the songs album 100 Children

I hope that gleam that you have in your eye
Is reflection from the buttons on your blouse
If it's not then we're in trouble, i can tell you why
I'm old enough to want to and fool enough to try

They don't make women like you anymore
And since there's not enough to go around
If you think what i think you're thinking, this is what i think
I'd be a crazy fool to turn you down

I hope that smile that you have on your lips
Is just a smile that you wear all the time
If it's something special, then start making up your line
I'm old enough to want to and fool enough to try
I'm old enough to want to and fool enough to try
