They try to tell us we’re too young
Too young to really be in love

They say that love’s a word
A word we’ve only heard
But can’t begin to know the meaning of

And yet we’re not too young to know
This love will last though years may go

And then someday they may recall
We were not to young at all

They try to tell us we’re too young
Too young to really be in love

And yet we’re not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then someday they may recall
We were not to young at all

You can understand the lyrics to Too Young if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Too Young" means the words set to the music of Too Young, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Michael Jackson. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics.
