You can teeter on the
brink of a precipice
Over an infinitely deep abyss
And somehow not even no tice this
When you're young and in love
You can grow a little older every day
Watch your stupid life wasting away
Somehow everything is a -okay
when you're young and in love
But when you're not,
the poisoned fangs of time become quite plain
When you're not,
it almost seems a crime not to go insane
You can whirl and twirl on
the world's carousel
Hurdle round and round
and feel quite well
Never even knowing you're in hell
when you're young and in love
You can know the world
has nothing left to give
Be condemned to die, content to live
And be happy if and only if you're young
and in love
But when you're not the poison whose
fangs of time become quite plain
When you're not,
it almost seems a crime not to go insane
You can teeter on the brink of a precipice
over an infinitely deeper base
And somehow not even no tice this
when you're young and in love
You can grow a little older every day
To watch your stupid life wasted away
So now everything is
A -OK
When you're young and in love
