When you're young and you think that you know what you
feel
deep in your heart
do you know it's real or is this just a new teenage
love you got to be sure
she looked into my eyes and said what's going on
I've spent my time with you, you know my love is
strong
cause deep inside my heart you know what I feel
I'm ready to go on cause my love is real

Her mother looked at me and said she's just seventeen
she looked at me and said Stevie just what does that
mean
cause age is just a number

Young girl get out of my life
my love for you is way out of line
I'm too old for you, I'm too old for you
girl you're too young for me

You know sometimes I feel I should just awake
then I hear you're voice say
true love is blind and you just can't choose your love

cause god makes that choice
but wouldn't that be so sad
If I should let her go
you know this hurts so bad
and how was I to know
she come into my world and turn my life around
I can't just break her heart it's true love I've found
you know you're family says you know you're just
seventeen
she looked at me and said Stevie just what does that
mean
cause age is just a number

Young girl get out of my life
my love for you is way out of line
I'm too old for you, I'm too old for you
girl you're too young for me
Young girl I'd like to have you for my wife
I'd stay with you for the rest of my life
why can't you, girl why can't you see
that this is so hard for me

When you're young and you think that you know what you
feel
deep in your heart
do you know it's real or is this just a new teenage
love
you got to be sure
she looked into my eyes and said what's going on
I've spent my time with you, you know my love is
strong
cause deep inside my heart you know what I feel
I'm ready to go on cause my love is real
you know you're family said you know you're just
seventeen
she looked at me and said Stevie just what does that
mean
cause age is just a number
