Once and Never Again Lyrics
19. you're only 19 for God's sake,
Oh, you don't need a boyfriend. 19. you're only 19 for God's sake, Oh, you don't need a boyfriend. Look what he's made you do to your arm again, He said he'd come round but he's gone out with his friends, And I know how it feels to be your age and feel the world is caving in. Another drama by the kitchen sink tonight, You said you'd cut yourself whilst washing up the knives, Another week off school won't do you any good, And I know how it feels to be your age. 19. you're only 19 for God's sake, Oh, you don't need a boyfriend. 19. you're only 19 for God's sake, Oh, you don't need a boyfriend. Come back with me, and find out what you really want, Come home with me you'll only have to do it once, 'cause I know what it feels like to be your age, You only have to do it once, And never again. Another drama by the kitchen sink tonight, You said you'd cut yourself whilst washing up the knives, Another week off school won't do you any good, And I know how it feels to be your age. You know I'm not so young, I spend an hour getting ready every day, And still I end up looking more or less the same, But I could show you, a thing or two. Oh, I could show you the ropes, Yes I could show you the ropes, And I would cut my hair for you, 'Cause I know how it feels. I know how it feels to be your age, I know how it feels to be your age, Oh, how I'd love to feel a girl your age, Your age, Once and never again.

"you sais you'd cut yourself whilst washing up the knives"
it could mean that she slits her wrists
but alot of lyrics in the song hint at an abusive boyfriend, who treates her like shit, and her mother understands and wants to help
wat do you think?

"So go. Just go. Because you'll never be nineteen again. And I thought I told you before: You don't need a boyfriend."

Even though this was written by a guy, I think it is supposed to be from a woman's point of view. She just wants the girl to take her advice because she was in the same situation when she was that age and knows how it is.
This doesn't have to do with lesbian sex, you pervs. xD Some people find sexual undertones in everything.

However it definitely makes more sense to see it from the mother perspective.
Whatever it means, it's a great song.

The see the line 'I will cut my hair for you' as the older girl being very sympathetic, she's saying 'look, if i was a boy i'd prove to you that relationships don't have to be like this', she's just trying to make the 19 year old girl feel better and understand that this guy is a jerk.
The line 'How i'd love to feel a girl your age' is quite confusing, and i can understand why people get lesbian ideas from this but i think she just means she want to feel LIKE a girl of 19 again (even though the line doesn't say this), but just for a second, maybe jusy for a day
I'm not quite sure, but this is what i get from the lyrics.

its about an older woman and she's trying to convinve the teen that her bf is a jerk..simple as that..doesn't matter who wrote the song....man or woman...men write books from women's prospectives..memoires of a geisha? although that's kinda a cheap shot..but still

Anyways, I think the song is about advising a younger girl about her terrible boyfriend and how she is being overdramatic, but with semi-jealous undertones from the speaker who wants to be young again but not experience the same shit. I do feel like she is making slight sexual advances towards the younger girl, but this is subtle.

"feel a girl your age" has nothing to do with physically feeling anything. the long blondes are british. it's just a typically british way of saying "feeling LIKE a girl your age." also, "come out with me," and "you'll only have to do it once," are not related at all. "you only have to do it once," references how you only have to be nineteen once.
i think it's very probable that this could be told from the perspective of a mother or perhaps (but seemingly less likely) a much older sister. "you know I'm not so young/ i spend an hour getting ready every day/ and still I end up looking more or less the same/ but I could show you a thing or two." basically, the mom is saying that even though she's "not so young" anymore and she might seem out-of-touch with what her daughter's going through, she still remembers what it was like to be a young person experiencing love/lust for the first time. she's telling her daughter that she shouldn't put so much energy into worrying about this particular guy because she has so much more that she can still experience.
