Please

[Verse 1: Rhonda Vincent] We've been crippled in love Short changed and hung out to dry We've chalked on the walls A slogan or two about life [Pre-Chorus: Rhonda Vincent] Stood dazed in the doorway The king and queen of clowns We've been flipped like a coin Both of us landing face-down [Chorus: Rhonda Vincent & Dolly Parton] So please, please Let me grow old with you After everything we've been through What's left to prove? So please, please Please, oh, please Let me grow old with you [Verse 2: Dolly Parton] We've been livin' with sorrow Been up, down, and all around We've buried our feelings A little too deep in the ground [Pre-Chorus, Rhonda Vincent, Both] Stood dazed in the doorway The king and queen of clowns We've been flipped like a coin Both of us landing face-down [Chorus: Rhonda Vincent & Dolly Parton] So please, please Let me grow old with you After everything we've been through What's left to prove? So please, please Please, oh, please Let me grow old with you [Bridge: Rhonda Vincent, Both] But tied to the same track, the two of us look back At oncoming trains ahead How many more times can we lay on the line Watchin' our love hang by a thread? [Chorus: Both, Rhonda Vincent, Dolly Parton] So please, please Let me grow old with you After everything we've been through What's left to prove? So please (Please), please (Please) Please, oh, please Let me grow old with you Oh, please (Oh, please) Let me grow old with you
