Because we are young they say I?ll forget you
They say I?ll forget that I ever met you
And maybe they?re right but just for tonight
Don?t say we?re not right because we are young
Though our love is young we still have control
We know we must wait without being told
We still have our pride we?ve nothing to hide
Don?t cast love aside because we are young
I know they mean well when they criticize me
I wish in their hearts they knew what?s inside me
I know my own heart love must have a start
Why keep us apart because we are young
And someday I hope they?ll know how we feel
When they realize that our love is real
So please hold me tight and just for tonight
Don?t say we?re not right because we are young
