When you're young and so in love as we   And bewildered by the world we see   Why do 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   Ours is not an easy age   We're like tigers in a cage   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 and 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      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      No, it isn't very pretty what a town without pity
