The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You say I'm so naive
'Cause I believe that love can be true
I need to see what you feel for me
Oh, to believe in you
I know you think you're smart
And that in your heart
I'm no match for you
But I ain't afraid of standin' on my own
Don't call me baby, baby
Don't you know that I'm
Old enough
Old enough to know better
Young enough to take a chance
Old enough
Old enough to know better
(Strong enough)
Strong enough for somethin' good together
But I'm old enough to know better
Than to call it love
Love is what you bring
But everything isn't what it seems
(What it seems)
'Cause in the past
I jump too fast into broken dreams
Don't want no one-night thing
No casual fling, it's no mystery
'Cause when I give my heart, I give it all
And I can see you might be ready to fall
But I'm old enough
Old enough to know better
Young enough to take a chance
Old enough
Old enough to know better
(Strong enough)
Strong enough for somethin' good together
But I'm old enough to know better
Than to call it love
Come on, baby
Show me what you've got
So I can believe it's real
When I see you, baby
I go weak
I know that love is blind
(Love is blind)
When my emotions get the best of me
Oh, it's hard to draw the line
Old enough
Old enough to know better
Young enough to take a chance
Old enough
Old enough to know better
(Strong enough)
Strong enough for somethin' good together
But I'm old enough to know better
Than to call it love
Old enough
Old enough to know better
Young enough to take a chance
Old enough
Old enough to know better
(Strong enough)
Strong enough for somethin' good together
But I'm old enough to know better
(Old enough to know better)
Than to call it love
I need to see what you feel for me
Not only for one night
(Old enough)
When I give my heart, I give it all
(Old enough to know better)
I'm waiting for you
(Old enough)
'Cause when my emotions get the best of me
(Old enough to know better)
That's when I really need your love
(Old enough)
Come on, show me
Oh, show me
(Old enough to know better)
(Old enough)
(Old enough to know better)
(Old enough)
(Old enough to know better)
(Old enough)
