MY HEART BECAME OF AGE
(Bob Sherman / Dick Sherman)

as recorded by
Annette & The Afterbeats
1959


Used to date at least a dozen boys,
I was quite the high school rage,
But when I met you,
All at once I knew
That my heart became of age!

I was sure it wasn't puppy love,
I was way beyond that stage.
Something deep inside
Couldn't be denied,
Yes, my heart became of age!

The time had come for true romance,
Not just another fling!
My heart told me, "Don't miss your chance,
This is the real thing!

Now that in your book of love,
I was just another page.
When you said we're through,
Through my tears I knew
That my heart became of age!

Now that in your book of love,
I was just another page.
When you said we're through,
Through my tears I knew
That my heart became of age!
