Grandpa says you're better than the rest
And I know that I can't contest
'Cause he don't like anyone
Mommma says your looks are mighty fine
Her grandbabies will be divine
And she can't wait to hold 'em
But you can't have the rest of me
Until you make the best of me
So start preparing
'Cause I'm young and spry and I've got fight
I'm in my prime and made just right
For childbearing
So come with silver, come with gold
Don't come when you want, just come when you're told
'Cause each day that the sky is swept with the sun
I step further away from staying young
So get me while I'm young
So get me while I'm young
My sister's been a-squealing
'Cause her beau sealed the deal and
Is making her his bride
And the ugliest parts of me
Are teeming with jealousy
Because of my own pride
But it's been a while since your first court
And I know that it's not a sport
But I can't help but compete
So if you're a man, then take a stand
Let's set a date and make a plan
Now get on one knee
And come with silver, come with gold
Don't come when you want, just come when you're told
'Cause each day that the sky is swept with the sun
I step further away from staying young
So get me while I'm young
So get me while I'm young
Youth is such a fleething thing
And you are such a greedy thing
With a diamond ring in your eye
It seems that someone washed your brain
With a shiny sparkling ad campaign
Distorting the purpose of your life
Suppose your good looks go away
But I still have a job that pays
You can't trade riches for youth
You can't wear love on your hands
Until I know you understand
Don't you tell me to
Come with silver, come with gold
Don't come when you want, just come when you're told
'Cause each day that the sky is swept with the sun
I step further away from staying young
So get me while I'm young
I'll get you when I want
So get me while I'm young
I'll get you when I want
So get me while I'm young
I'll get you when I want
So get me while I'm young
So get me while I'm young
And I know that I can't contest
'Cause he don't like anyone
Mommma says your looks are mighty fine

And she can't wait to hold 'em

So get me while I'm young
