John loves Ginny, but she doesn't care
Now that she loves another
I know that she's been getting her share
Sometimes I wanna tell him, but I wouldn't dare
And tonight when he calls
He won't know that I'm there

Remember the nights, the things that we said
And when we climbed in the back
Love was driving me out of my head
And I wanna tell you
May lightning strike me dead
If it wasn't the best love that I ever had

It was young love running wild
It was young love
Only young love, like a child
It was young love
Only young love, only young love
Running wild and running free

Waiting for the night, it falls in the street
He's just a young man learning
Moving in, shaking at the knees
No talk of forever, just take what you need
Love was never a stranger
When she called on me

It was young love running wild
It was young love
Only young love, like a child
It was young love
Only young love, only young love
Running wild and running free

John loves Ginny, but she doesn't care
Now that she loves another
I know that she's been getting her share
And I wanna tell him, but I wouldn't dare
And tonight when he calls
He won't know that I'm there

Young love running wild
It was young love
Only young love, like a child
It was young love
Only young love, only young love
Running wild and running free

It was young love running wild
It was young love
Only young love, like a child
It was young love
Only young love, only young love
Running wild and running free
