When you're young and so and love as we And bewildered by the world we see How can people hurt us so Only those in love would know What a town without pity can do If we stop to gaze upon a star People talk about how bad we are How can we keep love alive How can anything survive When these little minds tear you in two What a town without pity can do The young have problems many problems We need an understanding heart Why don't they help us try to help us Before this clay and granite planet falls apart Take these eager lips and hold me fast I'm afraid this kind of joy can't last How can we keep love alive How can anything survive When these little minds tear you in two What a town without pity can do
