Young Hearts Run Free - Candi Staton

What’s the sense in sharing this one and only life

Ending 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 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

(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

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 trouble and strife

My mind must be free to learn all I can about me, mmm

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

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

Young hearts run free

They’ll never be hung up

Hung up like my man and me

My man and me

Oh, young hearts

To yourself be true

Don’t be no fool when love really don’t love you

It don’t love you

Ooh, young hearts run free

They’ll never be hung up

Hung up like my man and me

My man and me

Oh, young hearts

To yourself be true

Don’t be no fool when love really don’t love you

Don’t love you

Ooh, young hearts run free

They’ll never be hung up

Hung up like my man and me
