Song title: So young and in love
So young and in love
There’s flying angels on your fire escape
They lie to your mama for you, try to keep you safe
You’re with them fire alley virgins on a midnight vamp
Lost your heart on Main Street to a beautiful tramp
You lost your mind
She’s sent from above
You’re so young and in love
So young and in love
So young and in love
So young and in love
So young and in love
Rat traps filled with soul crusaders.
They’re soppin’ ‘n’ boppin’ ‘n’ moppin’ with Little Melvin and the Invaders
Missy’s on the dance floor doin’ her stuff
Leroy’s dancin’ doin’ the continental strut
Sent from above
So young and in love
So young and in love
So young and in love
So young and in love
Everybody’s reelin’ when the band hits the ceilin’
Don’t you know you wanna go
The kids start rockin’ when the boys start knockin’
And everybody wants to go
Let’s go!
Joint’s shut down but you don’t wanna go home
You’re in the shady side of town and you’re all alone
Papa’s chewin’ your ear off, you ain’t got no cash
Mama’s chewin’ your ear off ‘bout hangin’ out with trash
So fine, sent from above
So young and in love
So young and in love
So young and in love
So young and in love Notes:
Musically, the base is Paradise by the C. Dated back in 1974. Very similar to A love so fine. Quite identical lyrics, just the chorus is changed.
