Grandfather clock welcomes me with open hands,
'cause precious time is on love's side.
When you're as young as i am,
I'll be waiting on forever
till you say your silly words
i'll be the eavesdropper
until 'I love you' is heard.
CHORUS:
I don't need the shiney things
I don't need the pretty things
I just need the plain and simple truth
I don't need the perfect one
because when all is said and done,
...all i need is you.
Be the boy who stands at my door
in the rain
Be the boy throwin' rocks at my window pane
Unlike all the other girls you saw
I'll be the one who takes you as you are.
