19 Going on 40

Say that you love me
Say that you need me
These simple words have never let me down before
Or picked me up because I've never really heard them
Dreams are flying with my feet on the floor

I can't remember what you said at the party
I might have been a bit choked up and they were stoned
The only reason that I do these things without you
Is it's better than being alone

I dream because I'm lonely
And I hate to think that I'm the only one they left behind
19 years old, going on 40
Or maybe going out of my mind
Going out of my mind

Say that you feel the same way that I do
Say that you'll never leave me standing all alone
So why you crying? I've gone this far without you
And I'm 10,000 miles from home

I dream because I'm lonely
And I hate to think that I'm the only one they left behind
19 years old, going on 40
Or maybe going out of my mind

Say that you love me
Say that you need me
These simple phrases never let me down before
Or picked me up because I've never really heard them
Dreams are flying with my feet on the floor

Say that you feel the same way that I do
Say that you'll never leave me standing all alone
So why you crying? I've gone this far without you
And I'm 10,000 miles from home
10,000 miles from home
10,000 miles from home
10,000 miles from home

I dream because I'm lonely
And I hate to think that I'm the only one they left behind
19 years old, going on 40
Or maybe going out of my mind

Going out of my mind
Only 19 years old and dreams are flying
With my feet on the floor
So why you crying?
Never let me down before
Out of my mind
And only 19 years old
