Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinkin’ bout you babe
And all I want to do is
Get a little rest
But I just hate the truth babe
That I just keep on
Messing, messing, messing everything up, darling
Messing, messing, messing everything up, darling
Time, oh I just want to know
What it’s like to be young in love
Time, oh I just want to know
What it’s like to be young
Young in love
Maybe it’s the way you dance
That’s keeping me on my toes
Obsessed with the way you move
Pulling me in so close
Loving you so damn hard
Your fingertips on my cheeks
They’re running down my chest
You can feel my heart beat
Heart beat running away, am I
Messing, messing, messing everything up, darling
Messing, messing, messing everything up, darling
I don’t want to waste no
Time, oh I just want to know
What it’s like to be young in love
Time, oh I just want to know
What it’s like to be young
Young in love
So don’t give me space, love
Don’t give me time
I’m just scared, love
To break this fragile heart of mine
Don’t give me understand
Don’t say it’s fine
Oh tell me what I’m doing is gonna break this
I don’t want to waste no
Time, oh I just want to know
What it’s like to be young in love
Messing, messing, messing everything up, darling
Messing, messing, messing everything up, darling
