[Intro] My momma said I can't see you no more 'Cause we don't know what love really means She says we can't get married for three years or more 'Cause we're only in our teens [Chorus] Oh, no, we're not too young, young to get married Not too young, young to get married What kind of difference can a few years make? I gotta have you now or my heart will break Not too young, young to get married Not too young, young to get married I couldn't love you more than I do today [Verse 1] I remember when I brought you home I remember what my mama said When I told her that I loved you so She told me I was out of my head [Chorus] Oh, no, we're not too young, young to get married Not too young, young to get married What kind of difference can a few years make? I gotta have you now or my heart will break Not too young, young to get married Not too young, young to get married I couldn't love you more than I do today [Verse 2] I'm gonna love you 'til the day I die I'm gonna spend every day with you Don't they know the way they make me cry When they carry on like they do? [Chorus] Oh, no, we're not too young, young to get married Not too young, young to get married What kind of difference can a few years make? I gotta have you now or my heart will break Not too young, young to get married Not too young, young to get married I couldn't love you more than I do today [Outro] Not too young, young to get married Not too young, young to get married Not too young, young to get married Not too young, young to get married Not too young, young to get married Not too young, young to get married Not too young, young to get married Not too young, young to get married Not too young, young to get married Not too young, young to get married
