Pretty Young Girl
Bad Boys Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know life is different to you
First love can be frightening that's true
But take me as your brother and your friend
And take me as your lover and your man

[Chorus]
Pretty young girl of my mind
How I wish you to be mine
Girl you're no child anymore
Pretty young girl of my mind
Don't you know, know I can't hide
Can't hide my feelings
You're my girl and you're sixteen

Don't know, is it wrong is it right?
Sweet girl, I want to love you tonight.
So take me as your brother and your friend
But first of all, I want to be your man





[Chorus: x2]

Overall Meaning

The song "Pretty Young Girl" by Bad Boys Blue is about the singer's romantic feelings towards a sixteen-year-old girl. He acknowledges that young love can be scary but he offers to be her brother and friend as well as her lover and man. He wishes that she was his and tells her that she's not a child anymore. He confesses that he can't hide his feelings for her and wants to love her tonight.


The lyrics of the song are controversial as they appear to be promoting a relationship between an adult man and an underage girl. However, the song was released in 1985 when there were fewer laws and societal norms addressing this issue. Additionally, the lyrics might not necessarily reflect the personal beliefs of the songwriters or the Bad Boys Blue band members.


Overall, the song can be interpreted in different ways. While some may view it as inappropriate due to the age difference, others may see it as a harmless expression of teenage lust and desire.
