For A Little While - Del Shannon

Baby,

What makes you listen to what they’re saying,

You know,

The kind of game they’re playing,

You think it’s high-class,

They tell you that you got style,

But baby,

It only lasts for a little while,

You go,

With a different guy each night,

But soon,

You’re gonna have to pay their price,

I know you’re young, yeah,

But you’re not a child,

And baby,

It only lasts for a little while,

They tell you everything, yeah,

How to act and how to swing,

But it won’t be long,

And they’ll all be gone,

Remember,

All the things we used to say,

We talked about,

The way some people play,

You think it’s high-class,

But soon there’ll be no smiles,

'cause baby,

It only lasts for a little while,

They’ll use you to have a ball, yeah,

They’ll build you up and then they’ll let you fall,

And it won’t be long,

Then they’ll all be gone,

'cause baby,

It only lasts for a little while,

Come back,

Come back,

Come back,

Baby,

It only lasts for a little while,

Come back,

Come back,

Come back,

Baby,

It only lasts for a little while,

Come back,

Come back,

Come back…
