Folks said it would never last

And don't you know a teenage love

Don't stand a snowball's chance



They married in the spring

And he pawned his old guitar

For their wedding ring



They got a three room apartment

One the wrong side of town

An old beat up truck

With the muffler draggin on the ground



Only love makes you bet your heart

When you know one out of two get torn apart

And only love makes you lay it on the line

It's a chance worth taking just to find

That one and only love



As the years roll on

They found themselves so far apart

In their two story home



One day he loaded up his car

She said promise me you'll call

And let me know where you are



That night he called her from his motel room

When talking turned to crying, that's when they knew



Only love takes you by the heart

And tells you when you haven't been so smart

Only love survives the worst of times

So count your many blessings if you find

Your one and only love



Only love makes you bet your heart

When you know one out of two get torn apart

And only love makes you lay it on the line

It's a chance worth taking just to find

That one and only love



Makes you bet your heart

When you know one out of two get torn apart

And only love makes you lay it on the line

It's a chance worth taking just to find

That one and only love
