Lyrics

I saw her stand in’ on the cor ner,

a yel low rib bon in her hair.

I could n’t keep my self from shout in’,

“Look a (F7)there, look a there, look a there, look a there!” (Bb)Young blood,

(F)young blood,

(Bb)young blood,

I (C7)can’t get you out ta my mind.

I took one look and I was frac tured.

I tried to walk but I was lame.

I tried to talk but I just stut tered,

“What’s your (F7)name, what’s your name, what’s your name, what’s your name?” (Bb)Young blood,

(F)young blood,

(Bb)young blood,

I (C7)can’t get you out ta my mind.

(C7)can’t get you out ta my mind.

What cra zy stuff.

She looked so tough.

I had to fol low her all the way home.

Then things went bad.

I met her dad.

He said, “You bet ter leave my daugh ter a (C7)lone.”

(C7)can’t get you out ta my mind.

(Bb)Young blood,

(F)young blood,

(Bb)young blood,

I (C7)can’t get you out ta my (F7)mind.
