Young Hearts Run Free
Kym Mazelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
[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]
The lyrics to Kym Mazelle's song "Young Hearts Run Free" speak about the hardships of being a woman and wife in a time when society expected women to be submissive to their husbands. 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.

@baronsledjoys1363
This song never fails to make me happy!
@tdeo2141
It helped me get over a breakup. Thanks Kim Mazelle 👍🏼
@protectorofillinois3
Out of all the songs on the R & J soundtrack, this one is my favorite, period. In my opinion, she did an excellent job covering this
@konstantinkoverchenko9587
Romeo + Juliet was not only an incredible update, but the soundtrack was also super sick! >_<
@lebagel
The director "got" the themes of the play like no other production I've seen.
@jaimeruizreyes
Creo que este es un TEMAZO !!!!! gran interpretacion, con fuerza y energia especial para una fiesta me encanta esta version !!!! Gracias y Saludos cordiales a todos
@AndrewMacLaine
I love this version better than the original! More energy, more layers of interest. Sure, it's not a clean but it's meant to sound wild and untamed.
@TrunkMuppet
Hearing this again as an adult after a breakup is really inspiring :) This was my jam when I was 12 lol. Now I hear the lyrics!
@Andrea-dp5hs
En ese entonces tenía 19 y estudiaba inglés y siempre me gustó la frase los corazones jóvenes son libres no se aferren a un hombre 😂gran enseñanza 👏
