Young lovers, young lovers, young lovers   I see them everywhere I go   Holding hands in the park   As the sky grows dark   Young lovers don't want to go home      Young lovers, young lovers, young lovers   They drive me right out of my mind   Lying down by the river   Whispering 'forever'   Young lovers, they don't have very long      Everybody was a young lover once   See that old man coming down the road, shuffling on a stick   Once he pressed a girl against a fence and drank her kiss   And never knew such tenderness   And holds still in his head that bliss   Now he has to sit down to take a piss      Young lovers, young lovers, young lovers   They seem to get younger every year   Find a job, get a loan   Raise some kids 'til they're grown   Young lovers, they don't have very long   Young lovers don't know what's coming on
