The Mighty Handful - Touchy Subjects

Just You Wait

Young flesh is coveted at every instigation
Young minds easily led are open to suggestion
Your young, young heart
And your young, young head
Your young, young body
Your young, young legs
Invite solicitation
So for your own protection
Don't you know you gotta hide yourself away
You think you know it all at your age
Just you fucking wait
Don't go and give your love away
To every Tom, Dick, Harry or Harriet
Listen to experience and
Just you wait

I can't save you from yourself
I can't save you from the dreams that all the others sell
I can't save you from their fists or the barbs or the lies they tell
Unless I save you for myself

I know you want to live and understand your place in the world
You want to make your own mistakes in the world
Mistakes you'll live to regret
Mistakes you'll eventually own but mistakes nonetheless
You don't know regrets
You don't know best
Your young, young body
Your young, young legs
Your young, young heart
In your young, young breast
Is raising expectations
A breast of exultation
Sing Hallelujah! Hallelujah! I'm inspired
But moral mores give cause to pause and of course I'm preaching to the choir
You beautiful objectionable object of desire
Just you wait

I can't save you from yourself
I can't save you from the dreams that all the others sell
I can't save you from their fists or the barbs or the lies they tell
Unless I save you for myself

Just you wait oh
Just you wait
Just you wait oh
Just you wait
Just you wait oh
Just you wait oh
Just you wait oh
Just you wait
