Young Hearts Run Free

Candi Staton Lyrics "Young Hearts Run Free" From The Album "Young Hearts Run Free" (1976) What's the sense in sharing this one and only life Ending 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's 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) 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 it in trouble and strife My mind must be free to learn all I can about me, mm 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” I 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 just 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 Oh, young hearts run free They'll never be hung up, hung up like my man and me My man and me Oh, oh, oh, oh, 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 Writer(s): David Bernard Crawford
