This song strikes me as almost a little bit creepy, because I picture a grown man singing this to a sixteen-year-old girl. He sort of emphasizes how young she is (peaches and cream, ribbons and curls) and is pretty possessive (you're mine, you're my pet). The last line is "you are mine," and it's kind of...aaagh. Am I overthinking things? Probably.

The protagonist is probably that age too. Ringo just sings it the first person.

Kaeorin, I sorta agree with you. My sister said the same thing.
