She wakes up early every morning She get up long before the sunshine Greets the milkman who's still yawning And reads the paper for a short time Calls the kids "Get out of bed" They never hear a word she says Husband stands to leave the table She says "I hope you have a good day" He thinks "One day soon as I'm able I'll get a job where I get good pay." They find it hard to make ends meet But they don't mention it because they have each other An love is free while they're supposed to be ... [Chorus:] Too young to be married Too young to be free Too young to be married But what could they do, they were going to have a baby After the kids have had their breakfast Now they're off to get some schooling She cleans the house and makes the beds She starts to dreams but knows she's fooling She swears one day she'll stay in bed But for now she knows she's got to keep on working 'Cos round and round inside her head She hears the words her mother said ... [Chorus] Too young to be married Too young to be free Too young to be married But what could they do?
