When you're old enough to know better
         Am                         Dm
When you find strange hands in your sweater

When your dreamboat

Turns out to be a footnote

I'm a man with a mission

The wa-ay you walk

The way you talk and try to kiss me and laugh 
           Em        C
In four or five paragraphs.
         Am                   
All your compliments and your cutting remarks

Don't tell me you don't know the difference
   Am                 Em
Between a lover and a fighter  
        Am                      Dm
With my pen and my electric typewriter
     Em
Even in a perfect world 
      A
Where everyone was equal
