[Verse]
There's flying angels on your fire escape
They lie to your mama for you, try to keep you safe
You're with them fire alley virgins on a midnight vamp
Lost your heart on Main Street to a beautiful tramp
You lost your mind, she's sent from above
We're so young and in love

[Chorus]
So young and in love
So young and in love
So young and in love
So young and in love

[Verse]
Rat traps filled with soul crusaders
They're soppin' 'n' boppin' 'n' moppin' with Little Melvin and the Invaders
Missy's on the dance floor doin' her stuff
Leroy's dancin' doin' the continental strut
Sent from above

[Chorus]
So young and in love
So young and in love
So young and in love
So young and in love

[Bridge]
Everybody's reelin' when the band hits the ceilin'
Don't you know you wanna go?
The kids start rockin' when the boys start knockin'
And everybody wants to go
Let's go!

[Verse]
Joint's shut down, but you don't wanna go home
You're in the shady side of town and you're all alone
Mama's chewin' your ear off, you ain't got no cash
Papa's chewin' your ear off about hangin' out with trash
So fine, sent from above

[Chorus]
So young and in love
So young and in love
So young and in love
So young and in love

Bruce Springsteen is a rock ‘n’ roll icon from the great state of New Jersey. Nicknamed “The Boss,” he’s known for spirited sax-powered anthems about working-class people making their way in the world. Backed by the trusty E Street Band, he’s sold more than 120 million records, won numerous awards (including 20 Grammys and an Oscar), sold out stadiums around the globe, and earned a place alongside his teenage heroes in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Although he’s a living legend who ranks among the most important artists in rock history, Springsteen wasn’t an overnight success. Around the time of his first album, 1973’s Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., he was dismissed as just another “new Dylan"—some scruffy folk singer with a decent vocabulary looking to follow in Bob’s footsteps. In the decade that followed, Springsteen proved himself to be much more.

His breakthrough came with his third album, 1975’s Born to Run. The record hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and landed the singer-songwriter on the cover of both Time and Newsweek. Bruce nabbed his first chart-topping album five years later with The River, and in 1984, he went global with Born in the U.S.A., a critical and commercial smash that produced seven Top 10 singles.
