I love the little wiggle in your walk, the way you cuddle on my shoulder.
But you're too young to know the score, so come back when you're older.
'Cause you're too sweet and innocent, and you're just too young for me.

The way you hold me not too tight, the tender way you kiss goodnight,
tells me you've got some growing up to do.
Woah, young and beautiful, is the love, oh, you give to me.
You're not hip, so get with it girl.
Go on back to your make believe world.

Sweet and innocent, you're too young and beautiful for me.
Sweet and innocent, but you're just oh, too young for me.

I'd like to kiss you and hold you tight, so go on home, girl, or I just might.
You're too sweet and innocent, you're too young and beautiful for me.

You're so sweet and innocent, but you're much too young little girl.
Go on home, just leave me alone, little girl.
