"That Older Girl" lyrics
Walk around the neighbourhood
In December after school
With the street lights shining
And the snow beginning to swirl
And among our party, slightly older girl
She smiled, got me thinking about her
Woah-oh-oh
Older girl
She was a whole year older
And I looked a lot younger
I was too young to know how important
Those two things were
But very ice and snow said, "Young man, no
You're just too young for that older girl"
Yeah, but the snow and the ice, they seem to say
Woah-oh-oh
Older girl, yeah
The smell of her coat, the smell of her hair
In the cold New England air
And she smiled, and that got me thinking about her
But the street lights and the snow man said
"These nights will happen again, but as for now
You're just too young for that older girl"
Here's the la-da-da part
La-da-da-da
La-da-da-da
La-da-da-dum
Da-dum, da-dum, woah, waoh
Woah-oh-oh
Older girl, yeah
When she smiled at me
I wanted to be all masculine
And self-assured
But all I could think to say to her
Were things a fourteen-year-old says to a fifteen-year-old girl
And the very ice and snow said, "No, no"
Woah-oh-oh
Older girl
The smell of her coat, the smell of her hair
In the cold New England air
And she smiled, and that got me thinking about her
The very ice and snow said, "No, no, no"
"Oh young man, you're just too young for that older girl"
The smell of her coat
The smell of her coat, the smell of her hair
In the cold New England air
And she smiled, and that got me thinking about her, yeah
The very evergreen tree said, "You'll have more nights like these
But for now you're just too young for that older girl"
La-ta-ta
La-da-da-da
La-da-da-da
La-da-da-dum
Da-dum, da-dum
Woah-oh-oh
Young man, young man, don't you cry in front of your friends
This is just not your night
La, la-da-da-da
La-da-da-dum, young man
Young man, there'll be more nights like this
This is not it for you, oh
La, la-da-da-da
La-da-da-dum, da-dum, da-dum
Woah-oh-oh, older girl
In December after school
With the street lights shining
And the snow beginning to swirl
And among our party, slightly older girl
She smiled, got me thinking about her
Woah-oh-oh
Older girl

And I looked a lot younger
I was too young to know how important
