	Story Behind the Song An implied statement. We never hear it so we have to use our imagination. Written 25 March 1992. Recorded in March 1992. Lyrics V1: He was a boy just 17. He wanted love. He was so damn hungry. And if she touches him I know he'll scream. And if she does the promises obscene. Chorus: Yeah that little girl makes me wonder. Yeah that little girl goes to extremes. She can take you through the might and in the morning still wind you tight. Yeah she does the promises obscene. V2: She was a girl of 23. She wanted love. She was so damn hungry. I showed her things she'd never seen. I touched her right, yeah, I made her scream. V3: I was scared of being free. I told her words I'd never heard. I promised things for which I wasn't sure. I wanted that girl next to me.
