I'm So Young

"I'm So Young" is a song written by William H. "Prez" Tyus, Jr., of Cincinnati, Ohio.

First recorded by the Students, the song has received cover versions by Rosie and the Originals, the Del-Vikings, Benjy Ferree, the Beach Boys, Naomi Wilson, and, as "So Young," by the Ronettes, Antony and the Johnsons, and the Devil Dogs.

While still in high school, Tyus wrote the songs "I'm So Young" and "Every Day of the Week" and gave them to a local African-American vocal group called the D'Italians.

An earlier version, recorded on September 9, 1964, was released as a bonus track in a 1990 CD reissue of the album.
