Young Hearts Run Free
Harold Perrineau/Kym Mazelle/Paul Sorvino Lyrics

What's the sense in sharing, this one and only life
Why bother sharing our lives if it will only lead to loneliness?

Ending up, just another lost and lonely wife
The singer fears ending up as a forgotten and unfulfilled partner.

You count up the years, and they will be filled with tears
The future looks bleak and painful.

Love only breaks up, to start over again
The cycle of heartbreak and starting over seems never-ending.

You'll get the babies, but you won't have your man
The artist worries that she will be left to raise children alone.

While he is busy loving, every woman that he can ("aahh haa")
The man in question is a philanderer.

Say I want to leave a thousand times a day
The singer constantly wishes to leave the situation.

It's easier said that done
But actually leaving is much more difficult.

When I just can't break away ("just can't break away")
The artist feels trapped in the relationship.

Young hearts, run free
Encouraging the youth to avoid being trapped in loveless relationships.

Never be hung up, hung up like my man and me ("umm, my man and me")
Don't be stuck like the singer and her partner are.

Young hearts, to yourself be true
Encouraging the youth to prioritize their own well-being.

Don't be no fool with
Don't be foolish and get trapped in an unhappy relationship.

When loving is all, there is ("say that don't love you")
Love isn't enough if it's not reciprocated.

It's high time just one crack at life
Life is short, so take advantage of every opportunity.

Who want to live in, trouble and strife
No one wants to suffer and struggle unnecessarily.

My mind must be free, to learn all I can about me
The artist values personal growth and self-understanding.

I'm gonna love me, for the rest of my days
The singer wants to prioritize self-love and self-care.

Caress the babies every time they say
The singer wants to show love and affection to her children.

Self reservation is what's, really going on today ("aah, hooo")
Prioritizing one's own needs and desires is becoming more common and accepted.

How can I turn loose
How can I let go and move on?

When I just can't break away ("just can't break away")
The artist feels powerless to leave the situation.
