Sang What?

 So, I was listening to the Bee Gees song "Run To Me" this morning.  From 1972, the song reached #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (US), and was top 10 in much of the world.  Really solid song, great harmony, perfect example of the pre-disco Bee Bees. 

Anyway, as I listening, the lyrics caught my attention:

"Run to me whenever you're lonely. 
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then, you need someone older

So darling, run to me"

Wait...  "Now and then, you need someone older"??  What exactly do they mean by that?  Especially considering that the oldest brother  Gibb (Maurice) was only 26 when it came out.  Just how much older is he talking?

But I think I'm overlooking it.  Older is a good rhyme with shoulder after all.  And there's certainly no shortage of songs about young girls, so many that are a LOT more creepy than this line.

So:  nevermind.
