Young Hearts Run Free
Paul Sorvino Harold Perrineau Kym Mazelle 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 song "Young Hearts Run Free" by Paul Sorvino, Harold Perrineau, and Kym Mazelle is an anthem for women who find themselves stuck in unhappy relationships. The opening lines of the song suggest that there is no point in sharing one's life with a person who will only make one feel lost and lonely in the end. As the years go by, love only breaks up to start over again, leaving behind a trail of tears. The lyrics suggest that women may end up with children but not their men, as the latter is busy loving every woman he can. The singer is saying that she wants to leave a thousand times a day but just can't seem to break away.


The chorus of the song encourages young hearts to run free and never be hung up on someone like the singer's man. It urges young hearts to be true to themselves and not to be a fool when love is all there is. The second verse of the song suggests that it is high time for everyone to have a crack at life and not live in trouble and strife. The singer's mind must be free to learn all about herself, and she will love herself for the rest of her days. She will also caress her babies every time they say and remember that self-reservation is what really going on today. Despite wanting to leave a thousand times a day, the singer just can't seem to break away from her toxic relationship.
