Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To be a part of me
Too young
To get a hold on me
You're much too young
You're much too young
You're much too young
Hey
You know I've met a lot of cool chicks
But I've never met a girl with all her own teeth
That's why I love you babe
That's why we could be
But you're too young
Too young
The past doesn't matter [Repeat x12]
Hey
Sophisticated lady
You know I've met a lot of cool chicks
But you've got style
You've got class
But most of all
You've got love technique.
