Once-a-Week Date - Marty Robbins

Too young to think of marriage

You’ve been told and so have I

Too young to really be in love

But old enough to cry

I know because we both cried

When they said we’d have to wait

And that we must be satisfied

With a once a week date

The time we spent together

I’m so happy I could cry

It only lasts a little while

And then we say goodbye

Till they believe we’re old enough

I suppose we’ll have to wait

But they can’t change the way we feel

With a once a week date

(Too young to think of marriage)

(You've been told and so have I)

(Too young to really be in love)

(But old enough to cry)

The time we spent together

I’m so happy I could cry

It only lasts a little while

And then we say goodbye

Till they believe we’re old enough

I suppose we’ll have to wait

But they can’t change the way we feel

With a once a week date

(Just a once a week date)
