"Not Too Young to Get Married" is a song written by Phil Spector, Ellie Greenwich, and Jeff Barry. It was recorded at the Gold Star Studios in Los Angeles in April 1963, by Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans. The lead vocalists were Bobby Sheen and Darlene Love. The song was arranged by Jack Nitzsche, while Larry Levine was the engineer and Spector's Wall of Sound was played by the Wrecking Crew. The record was released later in 1963 on Philles Records and peaked at No. 63 on the Billboard Hot 100.

[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
