Jefferson Airplane - Come up the Years (live)

From their first album, with Signe Anderson singing. Marty Balin reportedly wrote this about a 13 year old girl. A great song!

A younger girl keeps hanging around
One of the loveliest I’ve ever found
Blowin’ my mind, stealin’ my heart
Somebody help me ‘fore I fall apart

I ought to get going
I shouldn’t stay here and love you
More than I do
‘Cause you’re so much younger than I am
Come up the years, come up the years
And love me, love me, love me

IIRC “Martha” was written about the Mayor of Sausilito’s 14 year old daughter who was hanging around the Airplane’s mansion on Fulton Street.
