Much More (Album Version)

Much More (Album Version) - Rita Gardner

Composed by：Harvey SchmidtTom Jones

I'm sixteen years old and everyday something happens to me

Oh Oh Oooooh I hug myself till my arms turn blue and

Then I close my eyes and

I cry and cry till the tears come down

And I can taste them

I love to taste my tears I am special

I am special

Please God please don't let me be normal

I'd like to swim in a clear blue stream

Where the water is icy cold

Then go to town

In a golden gown

And have my fortune told

Just once

Just once

Just once before I'm old

I'd like to be not evil

But a little worldly wise

To be the kind of girl designed

To be kissed upon the eyes

I'd like to dance till two o'clock

Or sometimes dance till dawn

Or if the band could stand it

Just go on and on and on

Just once

Just once

Before the chance is gone

I'd like to waste a week or two

And never do a chore

To wear my hair unfastened

So it billows to the floor

To do the things I've dreamed about

But never done before

Perhaps I'm bad or wild or mad

With lots of grief in store

But I want much more than keeping house

Much more

Much more

Much more
