So Young Lyrics

I met her in a movie house, she was playin' the arcades
And posing with her hang hair down, lookin' a little bit unmade
She spoke in broken English, I replied in broken French
'Come and share my popcorn, it's not a federal offense

She's so young, God help me, she's so young

Well her skin was kind of pudgy, got spots all on her face
From wearin' too much makeup, and she wasn't walkin' straight
She drove her daddy's car, it was just jammed with teenage trash
She always find a popper, to be hidden in her stash

She's so young, God help me, she's so young
She's so young, she's so young
She's so young, so young
She ain't never gonna steal my heart away
I might not get it back
She's so young

And I took her down to Barney's, bought her a brand new set of boots
She caught it in my arms, she was lookin' terminally cute
I tried to take it easy, put my dick back on a leash
I see big trouble comin', I'm gonna beat a quick retreat

She's so young, yeah, she's so young
Yeah she's so young, she's so young
So young, so young
She ain't never gonna steal my heart away
I might not get it back
She's so young, yeah
So young, so young
So young, so much fun
I ain't never gonna throw my heart away
I might not get it back today
She's so young

Yeah so young, so young
So young, so young
She ain't never gonna steal my heart away
I might not get it back
She's so young, so young
So young, so young
So young, so young
Ah come on
So young
