Young Love

Just west of 42nd street

There runs a subway line

It's a little piece of heaven

Where the sun don't shine

She's standing on the corner

She's shining like a brand new dime

She imitates a ballerina

As the train keeps time

She takes a bow

And the conductor smiles

She says, step on it James

I'm on my way to see Antonio tonight

And she knows he'll be waiting

Cause nothing can stop

Young love

So wild and willing

One part love and one part innocence

Growing up

You can't get enough

Young love

Playing saxophone

All dressed in black

His boombox blaring some Metallica track

He put a ring in his nose

His mama swears he's going to

Give her a heart attack

I give you one ma

Maybe two, maybe three, maybe four

Then he hears his baby

Knocking down the door

He says, I'll see you later Mama

Don't wait up I won't be coming home tonight

So she prays another Rosary

But mama can't stop

Young love

So wild and willing

One part love and one part innocence

The say it's wrong

But nothing can stop

Young love

Oh, baby take my hand

I don't care if they understand

Cause when it's strong

Nothing can stop

Young love

And we will be strong

Just you and me baby

Down by the tracks

On the other side

With no one watching

But the moon tonight

He was a little bit nervous

Guess you could say she was a little bit shy

But he can't stop now

Cause she might give in

Just stole second base

She said slide on in

We were halfway home

When she gave the sign

Let my sneakers run

Let her Levi's fly

Young love

So wild and willing

One part love and one part innocence

Growing up

You can't get enough

Young love

Oh, baby take my hand

I don't care if they understand

Cause when it's strong

Nothing can stop

Young love

So wild and willing

One part love and one part innocence

Growing up

You can't get enough

Young love

Nothing can stop

Young love
