With all the charms of a woman
You've kept the secret of your youth
You led me to believe
You're old enough to give me love


Basically - grown man blames child for nearly getting him arrested.

I can see the video being objectionable to many, but not the song itself.

...we're hearing from an adolescent boy, but there's no suggestion anything other than fantasy is going on.
If there was, I'd find it creepy too.

In his 2008 interview with Mojo magazine, Brian May said he wrote the piece with his bandmate and co-founder, Freddie Mercury, in mind. He alluded that Freddie, now deceased, had a big love for women and men with big buttocks.

It was fitting because Freddie was the lead vocalist of the band, and he certainly poured his heart and soul into the song while recording it. His point was made — yes, Freddie loved voluptuous people.

The only thing inappropriate about it is people reading meanings into it that aren't there.

So many people think the song's name is "Time Of Your Life", but that's the parenthetical.
The song is called Good Riddance. The first word in the tine us "Fuck"!
But, it was widely used at reunions, graduations, and retirement parties. Duh!
