Young Girl In Love
Marie Teena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You pulled up my chair, and we had a drink
You can't imagine what I'm feeling tonight
Love at first sight, oh baby
I'm just a young girl in love
So we got up, walked out, went to your place
There's no confusing the smile on my face
I want you to give me some
I'm just a young girl in love
If I listen to my mama - she say
You're just a young girl, and you can't feel this way
If I listen to my daddy
I'll be alone
I'm just a young girl for your love
We walked into your room, and you shut the door
I've never been in this position before
I think I bit off more than I could chew
I can't be here with you
I'm just a young girl in love
I tried to say, but my lips wouldn't move
There's no prevention when it comes to you
I guess it's all over, so here I am
Let's do it all again, baby, baby, baby
If I listen to my mama - she say
You're just a young girl in love, and you can't feel this way
If I listen to my daddy
I'll be alone
I'm just a young girl in love
Oh, ah, hey, biff, bam
Oh, ah, hey, you got the grandest slam
The song "Young Girl In Love" by Marie Teena tells the story of a young girl who falls in love with an older man. The song starts with the man approaching her and making advances by tipping his hat and winking at her. They then have a drink together, and the young girl is overwhelmed by her feelings of love towards the man. She describes it as “love at first sight” and admits that she is just a “young girl in love.”
They leave the bar and go to the man’s place. The young girl is head over heels in love with him and acknowledges that it’s not easy to run away from love. She wants the man to give her some love because she is just a young girl in love. However, it seems as though her parents have warned her about getting too involved with someone older. Her mother tells her that she can’t feel this way because she’s just a young girl, and her father warns that she’ll be alone if she continues to pursue this love. Despite the warnings, she can’t help how she feels.
Once they are alone in the man’s room, the young girl realizes that maybe she wasn’t prepared for this. She admits that she has never been in this position before and is overwhelmed by her feelings. She hints at wanting to stop what is about to happen, but the man is too much for her to resist. The song fades out with the young girl admitting that she is still in love with the man and wants to do it all over again.
Line by Line Meaning
Well you sat back, tipped your hat, and gave me a wink
You made a suave, confident and flirtatious gesture towards me
You pulled up my chair, and we had a drink
You displayed proper chivalry by making sure I was comfortable, and we enjoyed each other's company over some drinks
You can't imagine what I'm feeling tonight
The emotions I'm experiencing are overwhelming and indescribable
Love at first sight, oh baby
I feel like I have fallen in love with you from the moment I saw you
I'm just a young girl in love
I am a young woman with strong feelings of affection towards you
So we got up, walked out, went to your place
We left the establishment we were in and went to your home
There's no confusing the smile on my face
It's apparent that I am very happy and content with the situation
It's not an easy thing to run away from
It's a difficult feeling to suppress or escape from
I want you to give me some
I desire sexual intimacy with you
If I listen to my mama - she say
You're just a young girl, and you can't feel this way
My mother thinks I am too young to understand the intensity of my emotions
If I listen to my daddy
I'll be alone
I'm just a young girl for your love
My father is against my relationship with you and would rather see me single than with you
We walked into your room, and you shut the door
We entered your bedroom and you closed the door behind us
I've never been in this position before
I have never been in a sexual situation like this before
I think I bit off more than I could chew
I may have gotten myself into a situation that I am not fully prepared for
I can't be here with you
I don't feel comfortable continuing with this encounter
I tried to say, but my lips wouldn't move
I attempted to speak my thoughts or feelings, but I was too overwhelmed to do so
There's no prevention when it comes to you
I can't control my emotions and actions when I am around you
I guess it's all over, so here I am
I suppose this is the end of our romantic encounter, so now I am here with you
Let's do it all again, baby, baby, baby
I want to repeat this experience with you
Oh, ah, hey, biff, bam
An expression of excitement and enthusiasm
Oh, ah, hey, you got the grandest slam
A compliment on your sexual performance

I have been mesmerised since 1981 by this sensational song. Never gets old. You could re-release this today and have a super hit all over again! Cheers. Whole album was fantastic indeed.

Damn this is an awesome song. This should have been released back in the 80's. I will say Teena had a one of a kind voice that no other lady today has. She could sing jazz, rock, funk, R&B and Pop like no other. RIP my sweet lady T. I sure am still sad over your passing. You were so underrated in the industry. Madonna, Lady GaGa, Beyoncé and Rihanna sure could have learned a lot from you. You were in it for the love of the art not the fame and fortune. Miss you much Tee!!!
