Verse:

F
What's the sense in sharing this one and only life
F
Ending up, just another lost and lonely wife
Bb                          Bbmaj7
You count up the years, and they will be filled with tears, oooh

F
Love only breaks up, to start over again
F
You'll get the babies, but you won't have your man
Bb                      Bbmaj7
While he is busy loving every woman that he can, huh huh

Breakdown:

C
Say I wanna leave a thousand times a day
C
It's easier said that done, when I just can't break away
C
Just can't break away

Chorus:

Bb
Young hearts, run free
Bb                Bbmaj7                  F
Never be hung up, hung up like my man and me (oooh)
F
Hmmm, my man and me
Bb
Young hearts, to yourself be true
Bb                    Bbmaj7              F
Don't be no fool when loving is all there is (oooh)

I said I don't love you

Verse:
F
It's high time, just one crack at life
F
Who we want to live in, trouble and strife
Bb                        Bbmaj7               F       
My mind must be free, to learn all I can about me

F
I'm gonna love me for the rest of my days
F
Caress the babies every time they say
Bb                        Bbmaj7          F  
Self resevation is what's really going on today, oooh

Breakdown:

C
Say I wanna leave a thousand times a day
C
How can I turn loose
C
When you just can't break away (just can't break away)

Chorus:
Bb
Young hearts, run free
Bb                Bbmaj7                  F
Never be hung up, hung up like my man and me (oooh)
F
Oooh, my man and me

Bb
Whoa, young hearts, to yourself be true
Bb                     Bbmaj7             F
Don't be no fool when loving is all there is (oooh)
