young lovers

young lovers

young lovers

young lovers

i see them everywhere i go

holding hands in the park

as the sky grows dark

young lovers don't want to go home

young lover

young lovers

young lovers

they drive me right out of my mind

lying down by the river

whispering 'forever'

young lovers

they don't have very long

(everybody was a young lover once

see this old man coming down the road

shuffling on a stick

once he pressed a girl against a fence and drank her kiss

and never knew such tenderness

he holds still in his head that bliss

now he had to sit down to take a piss)

young lovers

young lovers

young lovers

they seem to get younger every year

find a job

get a loan

raise some kids 'til they're grown

young lovers

they don't have very long

young lovers don't know what's coming on
