don't usually say things like this to girls your age
But when I saw you coming out of school that day
That day I knew, I knew
I've got to have you, I've got to have you
It's worth noting that Paul McCartney was only 21 and George Harrison only 20 in 1963. That's a group of guys who hadn't really matured much since they never had to face any of the challenges that we did at that age, and were constantly doted upon. I'm not excusing their lyrics, I'm just saying 17 and 20 (only 3 years apart) is not as creepy as shit like old ass Ted Nugent singing about 13 year old girls. That shit is criminal, and gross.

But seriously I love that Danny Elfman was so pissed at his industry having this issue that he straight up made the creepiest, wrong song, just to mock them. And mostly everyone's takeaway was just "ew".
I know for most people this seems like hair splitting but there is a stark contrast between beeing attracted to a 16 year old (which only based on physical appearance is very normal) and being attracted to prepubescent people.
