young girl
Stevie B Lyrics

Babe you're young
You are still inexperienced in life and love

and you think that you know what you feel
You believe that you understand your emotions

Deep in your heart
In your innermost being

Do you know whats real?
Are you aware of what is true?

Or is this just a new teenage love?
Is what you are feeling just a passing infatuation?

You've got to be sure.
You need to be certain about your feelings before acting on them

She looked into my eyes
She stared directly at me

And said whats going on
She asked about my thoughts or feelings

I've spent my time with you
I have invested my time in a relationship with you

You know my love is strong
My affection for you is deep and sincere

Cause deep inside my heart
Because I have a genuine emotional connection

I know what I feel
I am certain about my emotions

I'm ready to grow up
I am prepared to be more mature in my relationship

Cause my love is real
Because my feelings are authentic and genuine

Her mother looked at me
She stared at me with disapproval or suspicion

And said she's just 17
And reminded me of her daughter's young age

She looked at me and said Stevie just what does that mean
She questioned the significance of age in a relationship

Cause age is just a number
Because age does not necessarily reflect maturity or compatibility

Young girl get outta my life
You need to leave my life alone

My love for you is way outta line
My affection for you is inappropriate

Im too old for you (i'm too old for you)
I am significantly older than you

Girl, you're just too young for me
You are still in a phase of life different from mine

You know sometimes
At times like this

I feel I should just run away
I am tempted to escape from this situation

When I hear your voice say
When I listen to your words

True love is blind
Real love overlooks any age difference or other external factors

And you just cant choose who you love
You cannot control or dictate your feelings

Cause God makes that choice
Because the divine hand guides our romantic decisions

Wouldn't it be so sad
How unfortunate it would be

If I should let her go
If I were to abandon her

You know this hurts so bad
This causes me a lot of pain

And I wish I could know
I wish I had full clarity about this situation

She came into my world
She entered my life

And changed my life around
And transformed my existence in a significant way

I cant just break her heart
I cannot cause her emotional pain

Cause its true love i've found
Because what we share is authentic and meaningful

Young girl, i'd like to have you for my wife
I desire to marry you

I'll stay with you for the rest of my life
I will commit to being with you permanently

Girl, why cant you see? (girl why cant you see?)
Why can't you understand what I am trying to say?

That this is so hard for me
That this is a difficult emotional experience for me
