A broken heart is why 
I sing this song to you 
So you and all the world would know 
Why I have let you go 

They say I'm robbin' the cradle, little darlin' 
Because I've fallen in love with you 
They say I'm robbin' the cradle, little darlin' 
Is it strange for true love to be so young? 

Well, everybody says that you've got blue eyes 
But your eyes are really brown like mine 
Well, everybody says that you're unhappy 
But, with me, you really look so fine 

They say I'm robbin' the cradle, little darlin' 
Because I've fallen in love with you 
They say I'm robbin' the cradle, little darlin' 
Is it strange for true love to be so young? 

Well, they all say that I'm outta line 
'cause I want to make you mine 
But what very few people know 
That we planned everything just so 

They say I'm robbin the cradle, little darlin' 
Because I've fallen in love with you 
They say I'm robbin' the cradle, little darlin' 
Is it strange for true love to be so young? 
Is it strange for true love to be so young?
