"So Young" — an early Jagger/Richards original from 1964, part of their first wave of original compositions.
(Jagger/Richards)
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
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, she got a genuine teenage drag
She always find a popper, to be hidden in her stash
She's so young, God help me, she's so young
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
Well I took her down to Barney's, bought her a brand new
set of boots
She tried 'em in my arms, and's lookin' terminally cute
I tried to take it easy, put my dick back on a leash
If I see big trouble comin', I'm gonna beat a quick retreat
She's so young, God help me, she's so young
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, yeah
So young, so young
So young, so young
She ain't never gonna steal my heart away
I might not get it back
Yeah, she's so young
So young, so young
So young
I ain't never gonna give my heart away
I might not get it back
She's so young, so young
So young
I ain't never gonna give my heart away
I might not get it back
