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
