Young Girl

The speaker realizes that the girl he is attracted to is much younger than he believed. His feelings are strong, but he calls them “way out of line” and urges her to leave. The song’s emotional movement is uneasy: attraction gives way to shock and regret, then to an attempt to stop the situation before it goes further.

“Get out of my mind” suggests he wants to escape thoughts he sees as inappropriate, not merely to send the girl away. “A baby in disguise” is a figurative way to say that her make-up and perfume make her seem older, while her youth remains obvious to him once he knows the truth. “Go too far” implies crossing a boundary, though the speaker does not explain exactly what might happen.

The lyrics present the speaker as recognizing a serious age difference and telling the girl to go home, which can sound like an effort to prevent harm. At the same time, “that ‘come on’ look” and his fear that he might “change my mind” place responsibility partly on her and reveal his own temptation. So the song can be heard as both a warning and a conflicted confession; its unease comes from the gap between knowing what is wrong and feeling drawn toward it.
