Whats the sense in sharing this one and only lie
Ended 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 no man
While he is busy loving every woman that he can

Said I’m gonna leave a hundred times a day
It’s easier said than done
When you just can’t break away (just can’t break away)

Oh, young hearts run free
They’ll never be hung up, hung up like my man and me
(My man and me)
Young hearts to yourself be true
Don’t be no fool when love really don’t love you
It don’t love you

It’s a hard time now, just one crack at life
Who wants to live it in trouble and strife?
My mind must be free to learn all I can about me

’Cos I’m gonna love me for the rest of my days
Encourage the babies everytime they say
Self-preservation is what’s really going on today

Said I’m gonna turn loose a thousand times a day
How can I turn loose?
When you just can’t break away (just can’t break away)

Oh, young hearts run free
They’ll never be hung up, hung up like my man and me
(My man and me)
Young hearts to yourself be true
Don’t be no fool when love really don’t love you
It don’t love you

Oh, young hearts run free
They’ll never be hung up, hung up like my man and me
(My man and me)
