If you have ever encountered a pedophile, which I have (in work and volunteer settings), you know that the words of the song are how pedophiles think and talk.
To a pedophile, an 11 year old girl in a family pool with her friends is being deliberately seductive by wearing a bathing suit. When she looks up at him to see who just entered the yard, he sees a "come on look" in her eyes. I encountered that attitude when I was a volunteer Big Sister for a 5th grade girl whose stepmother's 25 year old brother molested her. She was terrified of him but eventually told her teacher, who called police. He insisted that she continually came on to him. He saw the look of fear in her eyes as seductive.
The second time was when I was doing some work for a domestic violence agency which offered women's support groups, housing, and a day care center. There was a guy who worked there part time. Another employee heard from someone she knew that he had a rape conviction. I was there when she asked him directly about it. He said that it was "only" statutory rape because the girl was 14 and he was 34 but she had acted older and lied about her age. A background check by the agency director showed that he knew the girl, her family, her age, and took advantage of her trust in him. He insisted that she dressed and looked older when SHE supposedly seduced HIM.
He was fired, along with the supervisor who hired him without a background check.
Doesn't it sound at all strange that a guy who knows a girl is underage sings about his longing and desire for her that he finds hard to resist? A man with a healthy attraction to age appropriate women would not be so obsessed with an under age one.
