Young Hearts Run Free
Harold Perrineau Lyrics

What's the sense in sharing, this one and only life
Is there any point in investing in a relationship when it may not last forever?

Ending up, just another lost and lonely wife
If a relationship doesn't work out, one risks being alone and feeling lost.

You count up the years, and they will be filled with tears
Despite one's best efforts, a long-term relationship is almost certain to have difficult moments.

Love only breaks up, to start over again
Sometimes the end of love is an opportunity to begin anew.

You'll get the babies, but you won't have your man
Raising children alone can be rewarding, but it also means sacrificing a partner.

While he is busy loving, every woman that he can ('aahh haa')
If someone is unfaithful, it can cause great pain and betrayal in a relationship.

Say I want to leave a thousand times a day
Trying to leave a troubled relationship is not as easy as simply wanting to do so.

It's easier said that done
In practice, breaking free from a toxic relationship can be difficult, no matter how much one desires to do so.

When I just can't break away ('just can't break away')
Despite the desire to leave, it can be challenging to find the strength to actually do it.

Young hearts, run free
People should live their lives to the fullest and not be held back by a relationship that isn't working.

Never be hung up, hung up like my man and me ('umm, my man and me')
Being trapped in an unhappy relationship can make one feel stuck and unable to move forward.

Young hearts, to yourself be true
It's important to prioritize one's own needs and desires when it comes to relationships.

Don't be no fool with
Don't allow oneself to be manipulated or taken advantage of by a partner.

When loving is all, there is ('say that don't love you')
If someone truly loves you, they won't try to control or restrict you in any way.

It's high time just one crack at life
Life is too short to waste on an unfulfilling relationship.

Who want to live in, trouble and strife
No one should have to endure constant conflict and hardship within a relationship.

My mind must be free, to learn all I can about me
In order to truly grow as a person, one must have the freedom and space to explore who they are.

I'm gonna love me, for the rest of my days
Self-love and acceptance is key to a happy and fulfilling life, regardless of relationship status.

Caress the babies every time they say
Focusing on the love and joy that comes from raising children can be a source of strength and happiness in tough times.

Self reservation is what's, really going on today ('aah, hooo')
More people are choosing to prioritize their own needs and well-being over staying in difficult relationships.
