What's the sense in sharing this one and only life
Endin' up, just another lost and lonely wife
You count up the years, and they will be filled with tears

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

Say I want to leave a thousand times a day
It's easier said than done
When I just can't break away, just can't break away

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

Young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool
When love really don't love you (say don't love you)

It's high time, just one crack at life
Who'd 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, everytime they say
Self reservation is what's really going on today

Say I want to leave, a thousand times a day
But how can I turn loose
When I just can't break away, just can't break away

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

Young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool when
Love really don't love you (say don't love you)
