When you're young and so in love as we,
And bewildered by the world we see,
Why do people hurt us so? Only those in love would know
What a town without pity can do.
If we stop to gaze upon a star,
People talk about how bad we are.
Ours is not an easy age -- we're like tigers in a cage.
What a town without pity can do.
The young have problems, many problems;
We need an un - der - stand - ing heart.
Why don't they help us, try and help us,
Before this clay and granite planet falls apart?
Take these eager lips and hold me fast;
I'm afraid this kind of joy can't last.
How can we keep love alive? How can any - thing sur - vive
When these little minds tear you in two --
What a town without pity can do.
