What's the sense in sharing 
This one and only life 
Endin' up just another lost and lonely wife 
You'll 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, uh-huh 
Say I'm gonna leave a hundred times a day 
It's easier said than done 
When you just can't break away 
(when you just can't break away) 

Chorus 
Oh, young hearts run free 
Never be hung up 
Hung up like my man and me 
My man and me 
Ooooh, young hearts, to yourself be true 
Don't be no fool when love really don't love you 
Don't love you 

It's high time now just one crack at life 
Who wants to live in, in trouble and strife 
My mind must be free 
To learn all I can about me, uh-hmm 

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 loose 
When I just can't break away 
(when I just can't break away) 

Oh, young hearts run free 
They'll never be hung up 
Hung up like my man and me 
You and me 
Ooooh, young hearts, to yourself be true 
Don't be no fool when love really don't love you
Don't love you 

Oh, young hearts run free 
They'll never be hung up 
Hung up like my man and me 
You and me 
Ooooh, young hearts, to yourself be true 
Don't be no fool when love really don't love you
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 
Ooooh, young hearts, to yourself be true 
Don't be no fool when love really don't love you
Don't love you
