Lyrically Speaking 2022 - Day 16

You Can't Say That In A Song Anymore.
Why the hell was I asked to do this one? Oh, I get it now.
<Clears throat> Let's face it, some song lyrics of the past are just downright inappropriate today for various reasons. Some mention underage girls in an icky way (do not approve), some are stalker-ish (do not approve), and some use degrading language that doesn't fly in today's world (I've been known to...okay, okay, do not approve). Most of these songs still get airplay and I'm okay with that, since this is still America and Yacht Rock is a thing. I do not approve of most of them because, as you know, I am The Bored resident Southern gentleman (WTF are you laughing at?)
I just finished reading the list again and now I have to take a shower. If any of you far-far-from-underage Bored ladies would like to...oh, never mind.
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist
1. With all the charms of a woman
You've kept the secret of your youth
You led me to believe you're old enough
To give me love
And now it hurts to know the truth
2. I've been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they're sayin', girl, just cuts like a knife
"The boy's no good"
Well, I finally found what I've been lookin' for
But if they get a chance they'll end it for sure
3. Yes, I did, I shot her
You know I caught her messin' round, messin' round town
Yes, I did, I shot her
You know I caught my old lady messin' 'round town
And I gave her the gun
I shot her
4. Well, I had to follow you
Though you did not want me to
But that won't stop my lovin' you
I can't stay away
5. I can see that you're fifteen years old
No, I don't want your I.D.
I can see that you're so far from home
But it's no hanging matter
It's no capital crime
6. You come on like a dream
Peaches and cream
Lips like strawberry wine
7. I'm a friendly stranger in the black sedan
Won't you hop inside my car?
I got pictures, got candy
I'm a lovable man
And I can take you to the nearest star
8. Well, show me the way to the next little girl
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why
Show me the way to the next little girl
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why
9. Hey little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go and leave you all alone? Mhmm
I got a bad desire
10. Josie's on a vacation far away
Come around and talk it over
So many things that I want to say
You know I like my girls a little bit older
11. Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
12. See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup?
Yeah buddy, that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot, he's a millionaire."
13. I fell in love with a slant-eyed lady
by the light of an eastern moon
Shanghai Lil never used the pill,
she claimed that it just ain't natural.
