Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
You look pretty in your fancy dress
But I detect unhappiness
You never speak so I have to guess
You're not free

[Verse 2]
There, maybe when you're old enough
You'll realize you're not so tough
And some days the seas get rough
And you'll see

[Verse 3]
You're too young to have it figured out
You think you know what you're talking about
You think it will all work itself out
But we'll see

[Bridge]
When I was young I thought I knew
You probably think you know too
Do you?
Well do you?

I was naive just like you
I thought I knew exactly what I wanted to do
Well, what you gonna do?
(What a fool)

[Verse 4]
And how have you gotten by so far
Without having no visible scar?
No one knowing who you really are
They can't see

[Chorus]
What you gonna do (what you gonna do)
What you gonna do now

[Bridge]
The only way you'll ever learn a thing
Is to admit that you know absolutely nothing
Oh nothing
Think about this carefully
You might not get another chance to speak freely
Oh freely

[Outro]
Baby when you're old enough
Baby when you're old enough
Baby when you're old enough
You're not free
You're not free

This might be the most well-written song of the last 20 years. It's that good.

[AqueleRod]

This song is so underrated, this is a masterpiece!

[PhillipNicewaner]

I am absolutely convinced that, if we see another Raconteurs album (let's hope), they are going to explore a deeper Rock/Americana/Bluegrass sound. This album was not just one of the best albums of the year, but was one of the most solid rock albums in the history of the music.

Whisper Sound intro is Indonesian Language or Bahasa Indonesia...the words I can catch "Wajah Penuh Ketakjuban akan Mukjizat" which means "Faces Full of Astonishment at the Miracle"...

[daweller]

I am a Hatter, and I have nothing but praise for these fine young men.

[teresarose]

I am 56 years old and I'm in love with the the whole group. I hope that they will get real big and popular.

[BlueBelle-]

Jack's eyes hypnotize me. I love this man.

[homercale]

" how did you survive so far without showing any visonable scars "
GOOD GOOD STUFF

[AloneWithMemories]

Why every song that Jack White touches turns to gold?

[vildedias]

Again!!! Echoes of aJethro Tull, yes sir!!!

[rsoxx]

The only way you'll ever learn a thing is to admit you no absolutely nothing. Amazing line.

[saxoflonie]

Great ! Simply great. Finally I am old enough to appreciate this type of music for all what it is transporting ! Please never stop

[lucyfoster]

Today it dawned on me. This was lifted from Living On A Thin Line by the Kinks (specifically, from Dave Davies). I knew these boys had good taste.

[elisabethlinz]

Super good looking young musicians in old fashioned attractive outfits
making thrilling and sensual music, they chose a wood and mirrors as a magical backdrop which enhances their weird and fascinating appearances.
The eyes of Brendan and Jack are mesmerizing... The music is a dream.
Greetings from Germany

[Cyrano]

Great band! It's not all Jack. Brandon's great. The bass player and drummer (sorry I don't know their names) contributions are choice and stand out really adding to the song.
Great band.

[naufalqnw]

I haven't watch this video before. Never knew that early in the video there's a chant in Bahasa Malaysia/Indonesia. Great touch, and never thought The Raconteurs interested in that language.

[sattwagarmendia]

Still LOVE this song. 44 years and dance like no one is lookin

[michaelstahlberg]

Based on a true inspiration out of Missouri back in 1860's.

[terrywalraven]

i am 64 and am not sure if i'm old enough!

[teresa]

A shame I can't like that a few more times.... that's a fine version of that song. Thanks Jack!
