Fifteen will get ya twenty
Sixteen will get ya ten
Don't think it can't happen to you cause
It happened to one of my friends

Eighteen fresh out of school
Doin' the right thing playing by the rues but
One day she caught his eye thirty six, twenty four with
A skirt size five. He stepped to and
Asked her name mot ever thinking to
Ask her age she so fine she had
To be grown had he known then what
He knows now.
She was only beauty queen, man oh man how
Could this be so damn fly but only sixteen

Fifteen get ya twenty, sixteen get you ten don't
Think it can't happen to you cause
It happened to one of my friends

Let me tell you about my friend
1997 homecoming queen working hard
On her degree but one hot day she was
Out at the Greek and there he was about
Five foot nine chocolate as cocoa in the middle of
July so fine. He had to be grow
Had she knew then what she knows now.
He was only sixteen with the body of a god and
A face of a king man oh man how could this be
So damn fly but only sixteen

    A lot is said here. My opinion on the older dating thing is if you love them then there shouldn't be nothing with your relashinship. But I guess the LAW doesn't see it that way. I really think this song has a great sense of reality to it.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
