This is one of the greatest songs of the 80's. Tiffany was the first great female teenage singer, and I think this really helped pave the way for future teen sensations, such as Britney Spears, Cristina Aguilera, and Taylor Swift.
Also, this is one of the most successful covers of an original song ever. It's great that a teenager could bring a 60's hit back to life, and put a modern spin on it. This is a song that is not out of date nor will it be, because of the theme.
My interpretation of the song is that it is about a situation many of us find ourselves in, in our teenage years. Underage sex is still somewhat a shady topic. And that is definitely what this song is talking about. I compare this perhaps to Romeo and Juliet. Maybe the couple in the song aren't supposed to be together, as far as family pressures. However, when love feel right, you have to get away from it all and take your chances together.
