Lyrics

[When I was 14 years old me and some older friends, they were three years older and I was about a high school freshman or sophomore some older guys and girls from school walking around]

When I was about 14 years old
In the Massachusetts wintertime cold
Me and some other kids from school were walking
Around

I looked at myself
And I looked at her
And I could see the way things were
I knew I was just too young
For that older girl

The smell of her coat
The smell of her hair
In the cold New England air
And she smiled once
And that gave me ideas about her
But the very ice and snow
Seemed to say 'young man, no'
You're just too young for that older girl

Chorus

Ba da da dum
Ba da da dum
Ba dum da dum
Da dum da dum
Oh oh whoa oh oh
Older girl

Ba da da dum
Ba da da dum
Ba dum da dum
Da dum da dum
Oh oh whoa oh oh
Older girl

She looked at me
She smiled
That gave me ideas
When I looked at the other guys
And I know
And then she looked at them
She would have ideas about them

When I was 14
I looked even younger than I was
I could see it wasn't my night
For that older girl

The smell of her coat
The smell of her hair
In the cold New England air
And she smiled
And that gave me ideas about her
But the very ice and snow
Seemed to say 'no, no, no'
Young man you're just too young for that older girl

Ba da da dum
Ba da da dum
Ba dum da dum
Da dum da dum
Oh oh whoa oh oh
Older girl

Ba da da dum
Ba da da dum
Ba dum da dum
Da dum da dum
Oh oh whoa oh oh
Older girl

Lyrics

You know Massachusetts cold
I was fourteen years old
And I was walking around at night
With them kids that I knew from school

I looked at myself
Then I looked at her
And I could see the way things were
And I knew I was just too young
For that older girl

The smell of her coat
The smell of her hair
In the cold New England air
She smiled a little smile
And that gave me ideas about her
But the very ice and snow
Seemed to say 'no, no, no'
Young man, you're just too young for that older girl

Ba da da

[Hold it
It's my fault
???
That's too slow
That's no good
Let me try something new like this
Something about there
Let's take it from the top shall we?
Don't let me slow down
???
It's good]

Well, when I was fourteen years old
In the Massachusetts cold
We were walking around
Me and some kids that I knew from school

I looked at myself
Then I looked at her
And in my heart I knew the way things were
I was just too young
For that older girl

The smell of her coat
The smell of her hair
In the cold New England air
And she smiled at me
And that gave me ideas about her
But the very ice and snow
All said 'no, no, no'
Young man, you're just too young for that older girl

Ba da da

Older girl

Yeah

[Jonathan solo, bring it way down, way down]

[Tommy!]

The smell of her coat
The smell of her hair
In the cold New England air
And she smiled at me
And that gave me ideas about her
But the very ice and snow
All seemed to say 'no, no, no'
Young man, you're just too young for that older girl

Ba da da

Older girl

Lyrics

When I was about 14 years old
In the Massachusetts cold
Me and other kids were walking
???

I learn cities
People walking around
After school in groups of four and five
In our car
In our car was a slightly older girl
And I thought she smiled at me
She smiled at me

The smell of her coat
The smell of her hair
In the cold fall air
I thought she smiled
It started me thinking about her
But the best I could come up with to say to her
I think it's a 14 year old ??? to day
???
The very ice and the snow said
"Young man, no no"

Ba da da dum
Ba da da dum
Ba dum da dum
Da dum da dum
Oh oh whoa oh oh
Older girl

When she smiled at me
I wanted to be all masculine
And self assured
But I was only five foot two or three
When I was fourteen
And I looked about eleven
[And there we have it]

The smell of her coat
And the smell of her hair
In that cold New England air
My voice hadn't changed at all
I wished it had for her
For a girl like that but no

Ba da da dum
Ba da da dum
Ba dum da dum
Da dum da dum
Oh oh whoa oh oh
Older girl

Well older girl
Sun and the moon said "no no no young man"
It's not your night
Your fourteen
You will have nights, young man
Someday
This is an older girl

The smell of her coat
The smell of her hair
In the cold New England air
Smile
Got me thinking about just her

The ice and snow said
"No" just said ???
For that older girl
Young man ???
Young man ???
???

Young man
Young man
Your young, too young,
For that older girl

The smell of her coat
The smell of her hair
In the cold New England air
She's one that got me thinking

The ice and snow
Said "young man, no"
"Your just too young for that older girl"

Ba da da dum
Ba da da dum
Ba dum da dum
Da dum da dum
Young man your a little too young for that
Older girl
