She was sitting cross-legged on a hood of a Ford
Filing down her nails with a emery board,
Talking to her friends about people they knew
And all of the things, that young girls do.

When she said, "You see that guy in the baseball cap?
I'd like to spend some time with a boy like that."
Betty said, "I've seen him at the hardware store.
I think, his name is Billy, but I'm not sure."

As they talked a little while, he passed by.
She smiled at him, he just said "Hi."
He was thinking to himself, as he walked away:
"Man, I'd like to find a girl like her someday."

Young love, strong love,
True love, it's a new love.
They're gonna make it through the hard times
And walk those lines.
Yeah, these ties will bind,
Young love.

Well, she just couldn't stop herself from thinking 'bout him
At a store downtown she saw him again
She had both hands full, he held open the door
He said, "My name is Billy. I've seen you before.

Can I help you with these? Can I give you a ride?
Can I take you out on a Saturday night?"
She didn't have to say, what she was feeling inside:
He could see the answer shining in her eyes.

Young love...

Well, from that day on you couldn't keep them apart:
They were side by side and heart to heart.
Mama cried, as Billy slipped the ring on her hand.
When the baby was born, she was crying again.

Well, he worked real hard and put some money down
On a little ol' house at the edge of town
And that night, as he held her, he couldn't believe,
That God had made a girl that he'd never ever leave.

Young love...

She was sitting cross-legged on the hood of a Ford
Filing down her nails with an emery board...
