I say goodnight-night,I tuck him in tight,But things are not right-What is this? an infant kiss,That sends my body tingling,I've never fallen for,A little boy before,No control,Just a kid and just a school,Back home they'd call me dirty,His little hand is on my heart,He's got me where it hurts me.Knockn , knock, who's there in this baby?You know how to work me.
ChorusAnd all my barriers are going,It's starting to show.Let go, let go.
I cannot sit and let,Something happen I'll regret,Ooh, he scares me,There's a man behind those eyes,I catch him when I'm bending.Ooh, how he frightens me.When they whisper privately,Windy-wailey, blows me,Words of caress on their lips,That speak of adult love.I want to smack but I hold back.I only want to touch.But I must stay and find a way, to stop before it gets too much.

Now, see, I think this is a dangerous way of thinking. Songs have performers, but they also have characters just like novels do. To equate the performer with the character is not useful, though of course many artists encourage it.

Also, check out this hilarious lyric by boy band parody Boyzvoice from Norway, released on their "Get Ready To Be Boyzvoiced" album from 2000:
TWELVE YEAR OLD WOMAN
I've spent the best days of my life with you:Days of love, days of laughter, but now I feel blue. A tear is rolling down from my eye Now I know that our love was based on a lie.
How could you be so mean? Told me you were sixteen, I'll never stop blaming myself For not seeing that you only were twelve.....
So tell me, How can I believe in love anymore When I've been betrayed by the one I adore? Tell me, how can I ever fall in love again? Being hurt by a twelve year old woman....
Now I know the meaning of the phrase: You should never ask a woman about her ageBecause her heart will fall apart If you ever catch a glimpse of her ID-card
The most beautiful girl I've seen Told me she was sixteen. It hurts me so: I found out too late She was born in 1988....
(But deep in my heart she means everything to me And sometimes I wish that I'd told her That even if her parents are planning to sue me I'll be back when she's four years older!!)
Tell me, (Refrain)

I bet your mama don't know that you scatch like thatI bet she don't know you can bite like that.

Young girl, get out of my mind My love for you is way out of line Better run, girl, You're much too young, girl With all the charms of a woman You've kept the secret of your youth You led me to believe You're old enough To give me Love And now it hurts to know the truth, Oh, Beneath your perfume and make-up You're just a baby in disguise And though you know That it is wrong to be Alone with me That come on look is in your eyes, Oh, So hurry home to your mama I'm sure she wonders where you are Get out of here Before I have the time To change my mind 'Cause I'm afraid we'll go too far, Oh, Young girl

Has somebody mentioned "Parents Just Don't Understand," DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince...Pay attention, here's the thick of the plotI pulled up to the corner at the end of my blockThat's when I saw this beautiful girlie girl walkingI picked up my car phone to perpetrate like I was talkingYou should've seen this girl's bodily dimensionsI honked my horn just to get her attentionShe said, "Was that for me?"I said, "Yeah"She said, "Why?"I said, "Come on and take a ride with a helluva guy"...
She kicked her shoes off onto the floorShe said, "Drive fast, speed turns me on."She put her hand on my knee, I put my foot on the gasWe almost got whiplash, I took off so fast.The sun roof was open, the music was highAnd this girl's hand was steadily moving up my thighShe had opened up three buttons on her shirt so farI guess that's why I didn't notice that police car
We're doing ninety in my Mom's new PorscheAnd to make this long story short - shortWhen the cop pulled me over I was scared as hellI said, "I don't have a license but I drive very well, officer."I almost had a heart attack that dayCome to find out the girl was a twelve-year-old runaway

When I babelfished Gainsbourg's "Elisa," one awkwardly poetic line camed back "Your twenty years, my forty, if you believe that that torments me --ah, not really LISA." On an off-topic note, other badly translated lyrics gave me the awful suspicion that Elisa is actually an orangutan or some sort of ape. Will some helpful bilingual please tell me I'm wrong?
