Nothing in the world is as sweet
as the love of a young girl
And nothing that I know of can so
enslave the heart of a man
With an innocence that's tempting,
cause a man could take advantage of a young girl
But her beauty is so fragile that he must
resist the temptin' if he can.
She's awkward, loud and funny,
but her kiss is sweet as honey.
She's a young girl, eyes that look right through ya,
and softly hold the secrets that
they find.
You can fool her, you can hurt her,
you could use her, then desert her.
Just a young girl.
But once you hear her crying,
the echo of that sound will haunt your mind.
Young girl, heaven built this world around you,
you're the sweetest mortal thing in this
sad life.
But young girl,
almost every man around you
Wants to rob you of your beauty
Thinks that it's his right or duty
An d I'm thinking now that
Mary
When she learned that she was pregnant
Was a young girl
Oh, just 16 or 17,
and really didn't understand why.
But she and
Joe got married, and she had that little baby,
still a young girl.
And because of that young
lady and her son,
I'm not afraid to die
No nothing in the world is as sweet as the
love of a young girl
And nothing that I know
of can so enslave
with the heart of a man.
