Too young
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too young to really be in love
They say that love's a word
A word we've only heard
But can't begin to know the meaning of
And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
We were not too young at all
And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all
The lyrics of Engelbert Humperdinck's song "Too Young" express the feelings of young lovers who are often judged and criticized for being too young to understand the complexities of love. Society sees love as a word that is only used superficially and without a true understanding of its meaning; it is an experience that is to be reserved for those who have lived long enough to experience it. However, the young couple in the song are convinced that their love is real and will last despite the naysayers' skepticism. They argue that their love is not merely fleeting but something that will stand the test of time.
The lyrics continue to emphasize the strength of the young couple's love and how it will remain through whatever trials and tribulations they may face. They insist that they will always remember the love they have and that others will someday come to recognize that they were not too young to understand its value. The song speaks to the experience of young couples in love and how they are often dismissed by those around them as being too naïve to truly grasp the depth of their emotions. However, the song also reinforces the idea that young love is real, valuable, and deserving of respect.
