..."This Girl is a Woman Now." :evilgrin:

P.S.: I'm not making that up.

But songs like that were far from rare in those years. You also had, of course, Steve Lawrence's "Go Away Little Girl"...and even Jefferson Airplane did a take on theme, "Come Up the Years" (with a lovely tune, by the way).

And, to be honest, those songs probably sound worse now because there's a lot more sexual activity at a younger age now than there was then. I would hazard a guess that, to most listeners back in those days, whatever feelings the singer had for the "younger girl," he was not really contemplating them jumping into bed together.
