Lyrics

Your mother's eyes, look straight through me
Whenever we meet
Your father swears, it'll never be
As long as he breathes
And how many times?
Have they told you
That you're too young
How, how I've ached to hold you
Mh-but you're too young
If we don't buy, what's right or wrong
Then we are sinners
We were never two, to tag along
But we were always winners
And how many people?
Have told you
That you're too young
And how many jealous hands (how many?)
Would love to hold you?
'Cause you're too young
Well you're too young to love me
And I'm too old for you
At least that's what they tell us
It's in their book of rules
That you're too young
Too young baby you're too young
We could try it for a while
Mm-but they'd get us in the long run
They say that you're too young
Mm-baby you're too young
(Baby)
Your mother's eyes, look straight through me
Whenever we meet
Oh, whenever we meet
Your father swears (oo oo, oo oo)
Mmh-mmh it will never be, never be
As long as he breathes (oo oo, oo oo)
(Oo-oo-oo-oo)
And how many times?
Oh have they told you
That you're too young
How, how I've ached to hold you
Mm-but you're too young
But you're too young to love me
And I'm too old for you
At least that's what they tell us
You know it's in their book of rules
That you're too young
Too young baby you're too young
Oh we could try it for a while
But they'd get us in the end
They say that you're too young
Baby you're too young
Oh they would get us in the end
They say that you're too young
Baby you're too young
Baby, baby oh you're too young
They say that you're too young
Baby you're too young
Baby, baby oh you're too young
They say that you're too young
Baby you're too young
Baby, baby oh you're too young
They say that you're too young
Baby you're too young
