Not Too Young To Get Married
Bob B. Soxx Lyrics

My mama said
My mother told me

I can't see you no more
I am not allowed to see you anymore

'Cause we don't know
Because we do not have a complete understanding

What love really means
Of what love truly represents

She says we can't get married
She claims that we cannot wed

For three years or more
Until three years or more have elapsed

'Cause we're only in our teens
Because we are only in our teenage years

Oh, no, we're not too young
Oh, no! We are not immature in age

Young to get married
We are ready to be wed

Not too young
We are capable

What kind of difference
What dissimilarity

Can a few years make
A sparse amount of years could not make much of a variance

I gotta have you now
I have to have you currently

Or my heart will break
Otherwise, it will feel like my heart is shattering

I couldn't love you more
I could not have more affection for you

Than I could today
Than I do currently

I remember when I brought you home
I remain mindful of when I brought you to my dwelling

I remember what my mama said
I remember the directives my mother bestowed upon me

When I told her that I loved you so
When I revealed my depth of affection for you

She told me I was out of my head
She claimed I was ridiculous to think such a thing

I'll love you 'til the day I die
My love for you will not change until the end of my life

Wanna spend every day with you
I desire to spend each day with you

Nobody knows that they make me cry
No one understands that they cause me to weep

When they carry on like they do
When they act in such an ignorant manner

Not too young, young to be married
We are the right age to be wed

Not too young, young to be married
We are not too juvenile to be pronounced as married

Not too young, young to be married
We are capable of being husband and wife

Not too young, young to be married
We are not too young to perform the marital duties

Not too young, young to be married
Our age is not a barrier to our union

Not too young, young to be married
We are able to take the sacrament of matrimony

Not too young, young to be married
We are not too immature to be in a matrimonial bond

Not too young, young to be married
We are suitable for a lasting marital relationship

Not too young, young to be married
No one can tell us what age to be in love and marry

Not too young, young to be married
We are old enough to consent to marriage
