Young Hearts Run Free

Candi Staton

(Crawford)



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 baby, 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

Ooh, 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

Ooh, young hearts, to yourself be true

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



(Saxophone solo)



(Repeat chorus and fade)
