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


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's the sense in sharing, this one and only life
Ending up, just another lost and lonely wife
You count up the years, and they will be filled with tears
Love only breaks up, to start over again
You'll get the babies, but you won't have your man
While he is busy loving, every woman that he can ("aahh haa")
Say I want to leave a thousand times a day
It's easier said that done
When I just can't break away ("just can't break away")

[Chorus]
Young hearts, run free
Never be hung up, hung up like my man and me ("umm, my man and me")
Young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool with
When loving is all, there is ("say that don't love you")

It's high time just one crack at life
Who want to live in, trouble and strife
My mind must be free, to learn all I can about me

I'm gonna love me, for the rest of my days
Caress the babies every time they say
Self reservation is what's, really going on today ("aah, hooo")

Say I want to leave a thousand times a day
How can I turn loose
When I just can't break away ("just can't break away")





[Chorus: x2]

Overall Meaning

The singer questions why anyone would want to share their one and only life with someone who will only leave them feeling "lost and lonely." She warns that love only takes a toll and leaves a person starting over again. She also sheds light on the difficulties women face in trying to leave an unhappy relationship, as it is much easier said than done.


The chorus of the song encourages young people to run free and not get hung up on relationships that do not bring them happiness. The lyrics stress the importance of being true to oneself and not being a fool when it comes to love. The singer suggests that it's important to only love those who truly love you back. She urges people to take advantage of the one life they have by avoiding trouble and strife, and focusing on self-love and personal growth.
