VERSE
Too Young
Elton John
Your mother's eyes look straight through me
Whenever we meet
Your father swears it'll never be
As long as he breaths
And how many times have they told you
That you're too young
How, how I've ached to hold you
But you're too young
If we don't buy what's right or wrong
Then we are sinners
We were never two to tag along
But we were always winners
And how many people, have told you
That you're too young
And how many jealous hands would love to hold you
`Cause you're too young
Well you're too young to love me
And I'm too old for you
At least that's what they tell us
It's in their book of rules
That you're too young, too young baby you're too young
We could try it for a while
But they'd get us in the long run
They say that you're too young, baby you're too young

About this Song
Too Young by Elton John is a poignant exploration of love and naivety. The song delves into the themes of youthful innocence and the fleeting nature of young romance. Elton John uses reflective lyrics to convey a sense of nostalgia, perhaps reminiscing about a first love that was passionate but ultimately unsustainable due to the lack of maturity and experience. The song paints a picture of a love that was beautiful in its moment but was destined to fade away because both parties were simply 'too young' to understand the complexities of a lasting relationship. Key moments in the song include the realization of how young they were and the emotional recognition that their love, while real, was doomed from the start.
