Sweet Young Thing
Jet攀 Lyrics

Hey sweet young thing
Addressing the subject of the song, a young woman who lives nearby

Lives a block away
Indicating the proximity of the woman to the singer

It's your sugar lips that I could kiss all day
Expressing desire for the woman's lips

I climbed the stairs to the 13th floor
Narrating the artist's journey to the woman's apartment

If you're a sweet young thing, come on and open the door
Requesting the woman to answer the door if she qualifies as a 'sweet young thing'

Open your door yeah comin Open your I said open your door
Reiterating the request for the woman to open the door

She's not there. I said she's not there
Realizing that the woman is not present and acknowledging it

Well I drove down the block with my face hanging low
Depicting the artist's sense of disappointment and sadness

I hear the noise so what's goin' on
Wondering about the activity or party that is causing the commotion

Well I sneak to the window, peep through the glass
Describing the artist's attempt to see what is happening inside the woman's apartment

Everybody's dancin' and havin' a real good time
Observing the enjoyable atmosphere of the party

So have a real good time. I said have a real good
Encouraging the partygoers to continue having fun

I see my chick with some guy. What about me
Spotting the woman he desires with another man and questioning his own worth or place in her life

Hey sweet young what you doing there
Addressing the woman again

Yeah whose that creep whose touching your hair
Confronting the man touching the woman's hair as a 'creep'

As he holds you tight I have to shut my eyes
Expressing discomfort at the sight of the woman with another man

Hey sweet young thing, you've grown very wild
Noting a change in the woman's behavior or demeanor

I said you've grown very wild. Yeah so wild
Reiterating the observation of the woman's wild or unpredictable behavior
