Verse:


What's the sense in sharing this one and only life

Ending up, just another lost and lonely wife
                          
You count up the years, and they will be filled with tears, oooh


Love only breaks up, to start over again

You'll get the babies, but you won't have your man
                      
While he is busy loving every woman that he can, huh huh

Breakdown:


Say I wanna leave a thousand times a day

It's easier said that done, when I just can't break away

Just can't break away

Chorus:


Young hearts, run free
                                  
Never be hung up, hung up like my man and me (oooh)

Hmmm, my man and me

Young hearts, to yourself be true
                                  
Don't be no fool when loving is all there is (oooh)

I said I don't love you

Verse:

It's high time, just one crack at life

Who we want to live in, trouble and strife
                                              
My mind must be free, to learn all I can about me


I'm gonna love me for the rest of my days

Caress the babies every time they say
                                    
Self resevation is what's really going on today, oooh

Breakdown:


Say I wanna leave a thousand times a day

How can I turn loose

When you just can't break away (just can't break away)

Chorus:

Young hearts, run free
                                  
Never be hung up, hung up like my man and me (oooh)

Oooh, my man and me


Whoa, young hearts, to yourself be true
                                  
Don't be no fool when loving is all there is (oooh)
