Nat “King” Cole

Too young to go steady
Too young, I hear her say
She says we're not ready
But then why am I feeling this way?

Too young, so she tells me
She says we'll have to wait
Why wait till it may be too late?

Can she realize she drives me wild?
Is she made of stone?
Must she always act just like a child?
Won't she ever own up, we're grown up?

Someday she'll be sorry
Someday just wait and see
She'll wish she'd gone steady with me

Can she realize she drives me wild?
Is she made of stone?
Must she always act just like a child?
Won't she ever own up, we're grown up?

Someday she'll be sorry
Someday just wait and see
She'll wish she'd gone steady with me

Nathaniel Adams Coles (17 March 1919 – 15 February 1965) was born in Montgomery, Alabama and used the stage name Nat “King” Cole throughout his career as a jazz pianist and later as a singer.

Cole’s first mainstream hit was “Straighten Up and Fly Right” in 1943. Bo Diddley, who performed similar folk-based material said that song was a big influence on him.

In the late 40s, Cole began recording more pop-oriented material. His stature as a pop singer was cemented by hits like “Route 66”, “Mona Lisa” and “Unforgettable”. In the 50s, virtually every home had a copy of his Christmas album.
