Gary Puckett & The Union Gap - Young Girl Lyrics






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

Whoa, oh, oh, 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

Beneath your perfume and make-up
You're just a baby in disguise
And though you know that it's wrong to be
Alone with me
That come on look is in your eyes

Whoa, oh, oh, 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

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

Whoa, oh, oh, 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

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

Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you

Gary Puckett & The Union Gap Young Girl Comments
  1. S.... A....

    its a great music

  2. C.... C....

    This is such a great song. How does it only rank 363 out of the 600 best 60's songs on the SiriusXM list? Who the heck was voting? Puckett's voice is phenomenal.

  3. F.... R....

    HEARD SOMEONE SAY ONCE THAT ALL ACTS ON ED SULLIVAN NEVER LIP SYNCED THAT IS BULLSHIT

  4. D.... f....

    He really needs to clarify this girl is actually of age as I'm kind of worried

  5. J.... C....

    I met a girl at a party 52 years ago and immediately became infatuated. We were both shy, her more than me, but you could say that we hit it off. This girl became the love of my life and we will be married 51 years later this year. But this is the song that has stuck in my mind ever since. I only told her this when we saw Gary Puckett live last year and he sang it then. As I told her, I nearly choked up, but I will always love this song because to me it's about my very own Young Girl. By the way, Gary still sounds great as we are both now in our 70's.

  6. C.... M....

    such a great range of amazing voices from this era, gary pucket' was one of scores of great vocalists, always nice to try & sing his songs but of course he had all the range, still i give all of them a good go as this was the greatest era to sing along to superb songs.

  7. B.... O....

    Ah, when music and lyrics were poetic, discreet, magical and classy.

  8. M.... J....

    2020 I've loved Gary Puckett since first I heard his velvet voice draw me closer🥰 In my head, he's actually begging me to rush right into his arms💋

  9. X.... P....

    I still loving you, Luz Maria, tu Pedro del Norte.

  10. D.... S....

    The most fantastic singing voice ever! So beautiful. I sang this song everytime it came on the radio. Takes me back to my teenage years, all the hope's & dreams of finding my forever man. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

  11. C.... A....

    Big yikes.

  12. s.... ....

    This song was made in the 60s... you had to live back then to understand that he was singing about a teenage girl and he is being cautious.

  13. B.... F....

    Well, I disliked this song at the time. Pretty much still do.

  14. C.... J....

    Gary Puckett's voice still cuts through me like nothing else I have ever heard. Amazing! Thankful to God for Gary Puckett.

  15. J.... P....

    One of the best voices from the 60s..always a favorite!

  16. R.... H....

    I've always loved this song ...but after the last few years of pedophile stories becoming more prominent in society, I'm not so sure how to take the song. It could simply be two teens a few years apart or it could be decades apart. It's unfortunate that this beautiful song is second guessed but at the same time...they/one could be a pedophile.... IDK there's just a lot of confusion these days as to what's what and yes, artistically it's up for interpretation, but I'm also not trying to support a predator. Unfortunately hearing the song, I just can't help but get inappropriate images in my head.

    Those are my current thoughts. Hopefully one day I will once again see this song for how I felt as a teenage girl, dreaming someone were singing about her this way.

  17. C.... M....

    Fantastic singing! Is this the wrecking crew? What a fine recording. Thank you for uploading.

  18. N.... D....

    My first and deepest love, I was 15 and he was 18 , I will never forget you ..

  19. D.... P....

    The big four: Young Girl, Woman, Woman, This Girl is a Woman Now, and Lady Willpower...Pure gold!

    D.... P....

    Don’t forget “Over You.” That makes it the big five now

    D.... P....

    @Bahamut Six not big on that one myself, but ok

  20. E.... A....

    Hermosa melodía recuerdos entrañables. Grupazo

  21. D.... D....

    Saw them in person - one of my fav groups

  22. L.... T....

    Woaw hermosa canción

  23. J.... B....

    Joe Nameth really sang his heart out on this one.

    J.... B....

    nah, just a racket

  24. K.... ....

    Gary pucket, was too old to/forget it.

  25. C.... D....

    Great voice, yes he really can sing and it is a great pop song. I would not be game to sing the Lolita story line now a days. My how things have changed.

  26. O.... C....

    Gary, our good LORD blessed you with such a wonderfull and powerful voice. Thank HIM all the time.......

  27. m.... g....

    Decency, not like the dirty old men!! Better sound.

  28. G.... V....

    Pedo Puckett & the age gap

  29. �.... ....

    So many pedo songs back in the day.

  30. D.... S....

    Norfolk Virginia 1968, not bad memories...

  31. D.... B....

    Brilliant song to the PC brigade will want to ban it because it mentions young girl

  32. L.... R....

    Love this song

  33. M.... ....

    When i was 15 i flirted outrageously with a man (or so i thought) who was a friend of my parents. He did nothing, I don't think he even knew i existed. Then i heard this song on the radio, it cut right through me, i identified with it so much. The funniest thing about all this, is, when i look back, my "flirting" was flicking my hair over my shoulder, and staring at him!!! I blush now at my naïveté. I wonder if he knew i had a crush on him? Thank god he was a decent person. I still love this song.

    M.... ....

    he just thought you were a little kid trying to act grown up

    M.... ....

    Bob Saturday .... Poor bloke, i feel sorry for him! A cringeworthy time in my life i can laugh about now 😬

  34. h.... ....

    Found this in the old tracks my mum left me, it’s amazing!

  35. M.... H....

    1960s 'She kept the secret of her youth'
    2020s 'Bro come get me....ill explain later, DUDE!!!! Get over here now!!
    She was f@#$ing 15 dude!!

  36. S.... Q....

    I don't see nothing wrong in this song.
    Is a older man in love or whatever it is for a young girl,not a little girl, but he knows all the problem it can be,that's why he tells her to go,couse he doesn't want to hurt her in any way,so,I think he is showing respect to her. I like that song a lot.

  37. r.... h....

    Every word of this song says she is underage. It is about a man who was dating a girl, who he thought was a woman. Now he knows she is not a woman, and so he is breaking up with her. It is unlikely he has had sex with her yet, hence the line I am afraid well go to far. He knows the truth now, so is putting an end too it. That's it!

  38. M.... T....

    Dam shame the has to lip sync and fake playing

  39. S.... N....

    This is my husband and my song. We were married I 1971. Our 50th Wedding Anniversary is in March 2021. We are still together in our old age. Beautiful song. I was17 and he was 27 when we married. Xx

    S.... N....

    Congradulations to the both of you.

    S.... N....

    Good thing you didn't take the song's advise

  40. V.... Y....

    I just love theseguys

  41. M.... F....

    Who the fuck decided to cut the amazing combo video Lady Willpower and Young Girl? And then to turn off comments? How fucking dare you Youtube you fucking waste of fucking human space. How fucking dare you decide what we listen to? Fuck you bitches.You pussies even changed the words.

  42. T.... L....

    Prince Andrew,Duke of York song.

  43. c.... M....

    memories...Senior Prom 1970...saw them at the Copacabana in NY City. good times.

  44. i.... w....

    R.Kelly should've listened to this song it's right up his alley

  45. F.... L....

    Could the bass player be a vulcan in disguise??

  46. J.... K....

    Write a song like this today you'd go to prison.

    J.... K....

    Oh, the irony - my 13 yr old neighbor was 4 months pregnant when this song came out. Can you imagine what she thought? BTW, it was a pot party and her 14 yr old sister got knocked up too - same time. Must've been quite a party.

  47. j.... m....

    It’s a good thing he doesn’t have an “ H” between the P and the U. That would complicate things.

  48. J.... m....

    Reflecting more than ever at 70

  49. H.... T....

    Elvis Presley wanted to record this as well but the Colonel wouldn't get him the rights.
    Would've been a big hit!

  50. J.... L....

    Creepiest song on the internet?

    J.... L....

    Fuck off you idiot !!

  51. d.... c....

    Its called pedophilia if we are being completely honest.
    Can we say statutory rape?

  52. B.... G....

    Finally, a song where the guy is telling the girl she's too young for him. To bad it came out in the late 60s. The lead singer is really cute.

    B.... G....

    why is too bad? Like you think you would have a chance with a celeb or something?

    B.... G....

    My brother had the hots for Gary Puckett, too. Personally, I fancy the guy with the goatee.

    B.... G....

    @Tommy Orr Jr I would have been way to young for him. I was only 8 or 9 when the song came out.

    B.... G....

    This happened to me with a girl who was only just 16 years old nice girl , but i was nearly 21 yrs old and had many other things going to have a relationship. Wonder where she is now that was back in the early 70's. This record reminds me of those days

  53. U.... ....

    Gary Puckett: “You’re much too young girl”

    R. Kelly: “Hold my beer”

    U.... ....

    More like, let me finish this beer to fill my bladder

    U.... ....

    Well, that one made me spit my beer! Good one!

    U.... ....

    Brilliant, top marks for that.

  54. C.... G....

    1960s mindset comments: "Beautiful endearing song". 
    Todays mindset comments: "Well as long as it's legal, I'm okay with it".  

    Geez, what a way to devolve.

    C.... G....

    hahahaha .. nice.

  55. K.... ....

    Here and still loving it 2020

  56. A.... L....

    Happy memories of an era when pop music was easy to listen to and when singers could actually sing!

  57. M.... A....

    I love this song. Yeah it’s strange, and I love it.

  58. D.... S....

    I heard this today on the radio, haven't heard it in decades, but I remember it well (born in 61). I didn't know who the singer was (was guessing Tom Jones). This guy could really sing - and what a great looking bunch of guys, too!

    This video is obviously poorly dubbed, he's not a bad lip-syncher. Ed Sullivan never allowed live performances back when, he wanted music to sound exactly like the radio release - most shows back then had bands lip synch. I always wondered how that sounded to the live audience - the band obviously still has to play their instrument, you can't "guitar- synch" or "drum- synch"! I'd think out would sound horrible! Also, where is the trumpet player?

  59. S.... C....

    I'm certainly privileged to have grown up with music such as this via my parents in the 1990s, it makes me nostalgic for an era I was never part of.

  60. K.... W....

    as long as it's legal, to me age is just a number. 17 years between my SO and me.

  61. r.... r....

    listening in jan. 2020--Gary Puckett had a great voice. It was a good time!

  62. I.... M....

    Hows your Pauline?
    Shes alright shes dead, hows your Pauline?
    Shes dead..... but shes alright though

  63. K.... S....

    Love the mashed up in glee!!!

  64. C.... W....

    Bringing this into the new decade

  65. a.... e....

    celebrated new year 2020 with this song

    a.... e....

    Timeless.

  66. M.... S....

    lots of good people come from Minnesota

  67. J.... S....

    My most favorite song from Gary Puckett & The Union Gap and I love listening to 60s music and I first heard it hen I was 10 in 1988.  We need more of this music today.  My younger brother was into dirty music and I chose this kind when I was in 8th grade in 1993 and I got more into this music and it put a huge smile on my face.

  68. I.... A....

    DAMN DAD! You had the best music growing up. Your teen years were far better than mine. And this guy's voice!

  69. M.... S....

    Takes me back to being a WAC in the Army. Vietnam, hearing the whirling of choppers lifting wounded soldiers to medical. Young men who had a girl back home and heard this song played. One of my favorite bands I fondly remember.

    M.... S....

    Que hermosa cancion siempre seguire escuchando peru 2020

  70. A.... W....

    God, this happened to me.
    I was so freaked. But so in Love. What can I do.
    I was 26, she was 17.
    Maybe if it were the other way round - I wouldn't have met Bubba. Just kidding.
    But memories can really mess you up man, really.

  71. F.... L....

    how could you not love this song would be so woke now the joy of the 60s

  72. a.... l....

    A Radio Luxemburg classic

  73. s.... j....

    Gary had one super, super voice.

    s.... j....

    He sure did!!

    s.... j....

    not really

    s.... j....

    Gary Puckett singing PLUS the wall of sound...WOW!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

  74. S.... F....

    Get out of my mind my love for you is way out of line !!!!!

    S.... F....

    keep it clean boys, the girls you're looking for are still are still out here!!! God Bless you all!

  75. D.... M....

    ! una canción muy linda y atrapada en el tiempo antiguo de esa época ! capturada en ese tiempo pasado !

  76. R.... V....

    Who still listening 24 December 2019

  77. M.... F....

    They look a bit weird for today’s fashion but boy oh boy this guy could sing!

  78. r.... b....

    Every pedo's favourite song.

    r.... b....

    I don't think pedophiles are telling young kids to go away, though... want some candy, young girl? "Young girl, get into my van, my wanting you is going to plan, do not run, girl, you're not too young, girl"

  79. K.... L....

    Amazing voice and song...

  80. R.... ....

    This tune’s pretty creepy....

  81. D.... H....

    All leads back to him yes iv worked ur little game out haha but my number 1 James worked u out too xx

  82. R.... K....

    This song reminds me of the socially forbidden love I always had for Charlie. While I was 5 nor 6 on the outside, on the inside, I was ageless and a lot older than back then, in the 1960s, then I am now, but have almost caught up again. --Benjamin Button theme, and the strange case of.

  83. R.... K....

    You'll never guess who the voice is behind this beautiful song. I always loved this one, none other than Jordan Maxwell, so very beautiful! Refer to Roy Orbison.

    R.... K....

    who is Jordan Maxwell?

    R.... K....

    @Steve Espinola 'Herman', has had about enough of you!

    R.... K....

    sigh. i give up. I get it, you're being surreal.

    to answer your earlier question, the cat in my profile photo is my dear departed cat Mozart. hold on....

    R.... K....

    And yes, i talk with my cats. Always. https://youtu.be/TX9lbEMA5Lg

    R.... K....

    @Steve Espinola Well then why do you call him Herman? Mozart is a great name for him, and so he shall be named, but just remember, Steve E, kitty cats may be departed, but they are never gone.

  84. T.... ....

    The type of guy we need in today's society!

    T.... ....

    TheFunkhouser he’s a pedo

    T.... ....

    no he's not

  85. T.... ....

    This song takes me back to when I was 10 years old, on the cusp of puberty and having mad crushes on adult male celebs. Yeah, I easily imagined myself as the "young girl" in the song! 🥰 But I still enjoy it today and the good memories it brings back. 🙂

  86. J.... S....

    ah another great pedophile anthem! He's singing about how badly he wants to sleep with a 14 year old.

  87. C.... H....

    this song is awesome. i had a major crush on this 53 year old man.

  88. R.... I....

    This is a very FANTASTIC Song

  89. L.... C....

    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, 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

    You're just a baby in disguise

    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, get out of my mind
    My love for you is way out of line
    Better run girl,
    You're much too young, girl

    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

  90. d.... ....

    Cody Wilson documentary theme song.

  91. J.... R....

    He was the most gorgeous man God ever created. My thirteen year old heart used to thump every time I saw him.

    J.... R....

    lmao your 13? nigga this dudes like 70 years old.

  92. L.... D....

    A song about trying not to paedophile all over some kid's face

  93. A.... A....

    I love this song

  94. c.... c....

    This really shows my situation now 😂😂😂. I am 17 and I met a 15 years old girl at a party. We started talking and dating. I ain’t sure if we are friends or whatever else, but after I invited her to prom and on a date we found a Colombian guru who said, I feel you’ll end up together, I think I am falling in love. And it’s really sad because she is too young and I’ll be 18 in a couple of months.

  95. r.... p....

    I am 70 my girlfriend is 27.This as got to be our song.

    r.... p....

    Baller!!

  96. m.... l....

    wonder how long before some leftist snowflake demands this song be removed from youtube. :-(
