Because we both are young, they say we`re not in love
But what do they know of this feeling that we share
I wish that I could find a way to tell them
we`re so much more than friends
And how much we really care for one another
Because we both are young, they just don`t understand
They say the things we`ve planned are only foolish dreams
But, girl, they just don`t know the way
we feel when we`re all alone
Or just talkin` on the telephone, so close together
I don`t know what they`re thinkin` of
Do they think that love is just for them all alone?
No matter what they say, we`re gonna stay
together, and whatever, we`ll do fine on our own
So, let them say that we`ll grow up
and leave this all behind
But, girl, they must be blind
to the light in your eyes
But we don`t need to prove a thing
to anyone, for we have just begun
And the best part of our lives is now
and all because, because we both are young
(repeat)
