I met her in a
movie house, she was playing the arcades
And posing with
a hangdog look, 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 white and pudgy, she's got spots all on her face
And wearing too
much makeup and she wasn't walking straight
She drove her
daddy's car, it was just jammed with teenage trash
She always got a
pop or two 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,
she’s so young
She ain't never
gonna steal my heart away, I might not get it back
She's so young
Yeah
Yeah I took her
down to Barney's, bought her a brand new set of boots
She tottered in
my arms, she was looking terminally cute
I tried to take
it easy, put my dick back on a leash
I see big
trouble coming, I'm going to beat a quick retreat
She's so young
Yeah, she's so
young
Yeah she’s so
young, she’s so young
She’s so young,
she’s so young
She ain't never
gonna steal my heart away, I might not get it back
She's so young
Yeah, so young,
she's 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
Hey
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
dumb
Hey, hey, come
on
So young

Mick Jagger, 2011
A heavy
blues, about meeting a very young girl and then getting wet feet.
There's a line in it that says, I
took her to Barney's to buy her boots.
