Because They're Young
Seductive Symphony: Unraveling the Heart's Melody in 'Because They're Young'
Lyrics
I got a date tonight with such a sweet little innocent thing
I have a date tonight with a sweet and innocent person.
I'll sweep 'er off her feet before she knows what's a-happening
I plan to charm and surprise her before she realizes what's happening.
I'm gonna hand her (ooh) my "sweet-talkin'" line
I will use my charming and persuasive words on her.
I know it kills her (shriek!) every time
My sweet talk affects her emotionally, causing distress.
She's gonna love me from the start
She will be fond of me right from the beginning.
And then I'm gonna break her heart
Despite her initial affection, I plan to hurt her emotionally.
Oh, yes I will Yes, I will Oh, yes I will, yes I will, yes I will!!
Expressing determination to carry out the plan, repeating affirmation.
I'm just a big bad wolf, I know tonight I'll be looking' so good
Acknowledging a negative image of oneself, anticipating looking attractive.
She'll be a helpless child just like a-Little Red Riding' Hood
Comparing the situation to "Little Red Riding Hood," emphasizing vulnerability.
I'm gonna charm her (mmm!) right into a trance
I will captivate her completely with my charm.
I know she'll never (wow!) stand a chance
Confident that she won't resist my charm.
She's gonna love me from the start
Reiterating her initial affection towards me.
And then I'm gonna break her heart
Despite her affection, I plan to emotionally hurt her.
Oh, yes I will Yes, I will Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will!!
Repeating determination to carry out the plan, affirming it.
But I'm a lover!!!
Contradictory statement, claiming to be a lover despite the hurtful intentions.
Man, my reputation!!
Expressing concern about his reputation as a lover with conflicting actions.
