Lyrics

Just 16 in a pretty blouse
In the basement of my parent's house
I thought my heart would bust right through my chest
Awkward is how I'd describe
My so-called moves to get nearby
To you my love, my world, my lifelong quest

But it wasn't meant to be at that certain time
My folks got home at 8 instead of 9

30 years of foreplay will put you in a mood
Decade after decade holding out
30 years of let's wait
I sure hope it ain't too late to find out what this thing is all about

At 23 in torn-up jeans
Behind the shed at Norma Jean's
I swear I felt my young heart skip a beat
A bit more smooth this time around
I started fast, you slowed me down
About the time I felt our lips would meet

Another perfect moment up and disappeared
As the voices 'round the corner got too near

30 years of foreplay will put you in a mood
Decade after decade missing out
30 years of let's wait
I sure hope it ain't too late to find out what this thing is all about

And as the years went by
You stayed here in the corner of my eye
Now the time is finally right

At 46 you look just right
In the glory of this night's moonlight
I'm sure I see forever in your eyes
This time I won't let it go
The love I've waited for I'll know
Before the night is through you'll realize

30 years of foreplay will put you in a mood
Decade after decade holding out
30 years of let's wait
I sure hope it ain't too late to find out what this thing is all about

30 years of foreplay will put you in a mood
Decade after decade missing out
30 years of "Oh, great!"
This time I won't hesitate to find out what this thing is all about

30 years
