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
