Young Love Lyrics

[Intro]
Young love, love, love, oh, a teenage love
Young love, love, uh-huh, yeah, a teenage love
Young love, young love, young love, everything I need, I got in my young love
A teenage love, young love, young love, girl, a teenage love

[Verse 1]
Tell me what's the definition of love?
It seems like everybody thinks they done figured it out but
Every time they fall up in it, they fall out, in and out it again
Tell me how they gonna know about us
Telling me and you that we ain't even been around long enough
We can prove 'em wrong, show 'em how it's done
I know we can do it

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause if it's wilding out, we got that, and forgiving, we got that
If it's talking 'bout how we feeling, we got that
If it's hanging out, keeping it real then we got that
Me and you know what the deal is but

[Chorus]
Since we ain't twenty-one (Oh)
They be tryna say it ain't love (A teenage love)
'Cause we can't hit the clubs
They be tryna say we're too young (A teenage love)
I ain't saying that we're tryna be grown
I'm just saying that we're old enough to know
We got that young love, young love
We lucky 'cause we got that young love

[Verse 2]
It's crazy how all our friends say
That we gone, they still tryna figure us out, babe
'Cause we always together
And we don't gotta front, we ain't gotta pretend, girl
And you know a couple of 'em gon' hate (Yeah)
Talk behind your back (And), smile up in your face
Oh, girl, we can prove 'em wrong and show 'em how it's done
And, girl, I know that we can do it just because

[Pre-Chorus]
If we're wilding out, we got that, forgiving, we got that
Talking 'bout how we're feeling, we got that
If it's hanging out, keepin' it real, then we got that
Me and you know what the deal is but

[Chorus]
Since we ain't twenty-one (Oh, oh)
They be tryna say it ain't love (A teenage love)
'Cause we can't hit the clubs (Can't go up in the clubs)
They be tryna say we're too young (A teenage love)
I ain't saying that we're tryna be grown (Oh, oh)
I'm just saying that we're old enough to know
We got that young love, young love (Yeah, yeah, yeah, that young love)
Yeah (A teenage love, uh-huh)

[Bridge]
We can hit a show (Yeah)
Kick it on the block (Yup)
Everywhere we go (Uh-huh)
You know that we got that
Young love, young love, young love (What? A teenage love, uh-huh, yeah)
Just talking on the phone (Uh)
Or laying at the spot (Oh)
No matter what we do (Yup)
You know they can't stop that
Young love, young love, young love
You're my young love, yeah (A teenage love)

[Chorus]
Since we ain't twenty-one (I don't care how old we are)
They be tryna say it ain't love (A teenage love, no baby)
'Cause we can't hit the clubs (Oh, oh)
They be tryna say we're too young (Yeah, yeah, a teenage love)
I ain't saying that we're tryna be grown (You ain't too young, and God knows I ain't too young for love)
I'm just saying that we're old enough to know (Ow!)
We got that young love, young love
You're my young love, baby


[Outro]
Young love, young love (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Everything I need I got in my young love, young love (Young love)
Well, it's my young love, young love
Everything I want I got in my young love, young love (Oh, young love)
Young love, young love
Everything I need I got in my young love, young love
Well, it's my young love, young love
Everything I want I got in my young love, young love
Young love, young love
Everything I need I got in my young love, young love (Young love)
Well, it's my young love, young love
Everything I want I got in my young love, young love

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
