Datin' is a game that grown-ups play Datin' means acting in a silly way Datin' makes girls start wiggle walking Datin' makes a guy start baby talking Dizzy like children on a merry-go-round Grown-ups are the biggest kids I've found You'd think they belong in a baby carriage They're doing things that lead to marriage But don't you laugh at what they do, oh no 'Cause some day you'll be datin' too Datin' makes a guy comb his hair just right His girl can mess it up when they kiss good-night Datin' makes you quarrel and say you'll break up And just because it's so much fun to make up Children can't wait to grow up but then They're datin and they're acting like kids again You'd think they belong in a baby carriage They're doing things that lead to marriage But don't you laugh at what they do, oh no Some day you'll be datin' too
