    Datin' is a game that grown-ups play
    G            Em          C     D
    Datin' means acting in a silly way
    G            G7          C      Cm
    Datin' makes girls start wiggle walking
    A    (Tacet)             (Intro riff)
    Datin' makes a guy start baby talking
    G          Em            C        D
    Dizzy like children on a merry-go-round
    G                 Em      C         D
    Grown-ups are the biggest kids I've found
    G  (Tacet)             G     G7  (Tacet)   G7
    You'd think they belong in a baby carriage
    C  (Tacet)          C     Cm  (Tacet)      Cm
    They're doing things that lead to marriage
        G         E
    But don't you laugh at what they do, oh no
           Am                 D      G  (Intro riff)
    '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
