Because we both are young, they say we're not in love

But what do they know of this feeling that we share

I wish that I could find a way to tell them

we're so much more than friends

And how much we really care for one another



Because we both are young, they just don't understand

They say the things we've planned are only foolish dreams

But, girl, they just don't know the way

we feel when we're all alone

Or just talkin' on the telephone, so close together



I don't know what they're thinkin' of

Do they think that love is just for them all alone?

No matter what they say, we're gonna stay

together, and whatever, we'll do fine on our own



So, let them say that we'll grow up

and leave this all behind

But, girl, they must be blind

to the light in your eyes



But we don't need to prove a thing

to anyone, for we have just begun

And the best part of our lives is now

and all because, because we both are young



(repeat)
