Do the lyrics of this song
creep you out... or is it just me?

The guy is singing about nabbing a 16 year old girl...wtf?

She's just sixteen years old
leave her alone, they say.
Separated by fools
who don't know what love is yet,
but i want you to know

If i could fly
I'd pick you up
I'd take you into the night
and show you a love
like you've never seen - ever seen...

It's like having a dream
where nobody has a heart.
It's like having it all
and watching it fall apart
and I would wait till the end
of time for you
and do it again, it's true...
I can't measure my love
there's nothing to compare it to
but I want you to know..................................

1. Depends on the age of the singer, I guess.

3. Benny Mardones
Old...




Singer/songwriter and Maryland native Benny Mardones made a huge splash with his '80s hit "Into the Night." The song made the Top 10 twice, a first for a solo artist. Originally from the 1980 album Never Run, Never Hide, the song was also included on his self-titled 1989 release. Though his subsequent releases like 1996's Most Requested Songs and 1999's Angel didn't have quite the same chart impact as his breakthrough single, Mardones earned a strong, devoted following for his raspy voice and down-to-earth songwriting.

Mardones reciprocated this affection, often visiting and performing for terminally ill fans. Indeed, his song "Bless a Brand New Angel" was written for a young fan who succumbed to cancer; this emotional, spiritual quality imbued Mardones' later work like Angel with a new resonance.

2. was that Engelbert Humperdink or Tom Jones?
Or somebody else? Can't recall who sang it, but it sure creeped me out when I was a teenager . . .

I think that's the part in the video where the police are carting him away.
