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

Ending up just another lost and lonely wife

You'll count up the years and they will be filled up with tears

Love only breaks up to start over again

You'll get the babies but you won't have your man

While he's busy loving every woman that he can

Say I'm gonna leave a hundred times a day

It's easier said than done

When you just can't break away

Oh, young hearts run free

Never be hung up, hung up like my man be

Oh, young hearts to yourself be true

Don't be no fool, love really don't love you

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

Encourage the babies every time they say

Self preservation is what's really going on today

Say I'm gonna turn loose a thousand times a day

But how can I turn loos

When I just can't break away

Young hearts run free

Never be hung up, hung up like my man be

Oh, young hearts to yourself be true

Don't be no fool, love really don't love you

Oh, young hearts run free

Never be hung up, hung up like my man be

Oh, young hearts to yourself be true

Don't be no fool, love really don't love you
