Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You’re much too young, girlWith all the charms of a woman
You’ve kept the secret of your youth
You led me to believe you’re old enough
To give me Love
And now it hurts to know the truthWhoa, oh, oh, young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You’re much too young, girlBeneath your perfume and make-up
You’re just a baby in disguise
And though you know that it’s wrong to be
Alone with me
That come on look is in your eyesWhoa, oh, oh, young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You’re much too young, girlSo hurry home to your mama
I’m sure she wonders where you are
Get out of here before I have the time
To change my mind
‘Cause I’m afraid we’ll go too farWhoa, oh, oh, young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You’re much too young, girlYoung girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You’re much too young, girlYoung girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you
