The Judds - Young Love lyrics

rate me

She was sitting cross-legged on a hood of a Ford

Filing down her nails with a emory board

Talking to her friends about people they knew

And all of the things that young girls do

When she said, "You see that guy in the baseball cap?

I'd like to spend some time with a boy like that."

Betty said, "I've seen him at the hardware store.

I think his name is Billy, but I'm not sure."

And as they talked a little while he passed by

She smiled at him he just said "Hi."

He was thinking to himself as he walked away

Man, I'd like to find a girl like her someday

(Chorus)

Young love, strong love, true love

It's a new love

They're gonna make it through the hard times

Walk those lines

Yeah, these ties will bind

Young love

Well, she just couldn't stop herself from thinking 'bout him

And at a store downtown she saw him again

She had both hands full, he held open the door

He said, "My name is Billy. I've seen you before.

Can I help you with these? Can I give you a ride?

Can I take you out on a Saturday night?"

She didn't have to say what she was feeling inside

He could see the answer shining in her eyes

(Chorus)

Well, from that day on you couldn't keep them apart

They were side by side, heart to heart

Mama cried as Billy slipped the ring on her hand

And when the baby was born she was crying again

Well, he worked real hard and put some money down

On a little old house at the edge of town

And that night as he held her he couldn't believe

That God had made a girl that he'd never ever leave

(Chorus)

She was sitting cross-legged on the hood of a Ford

Filing down her nails with an emory board
