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

If we stop to gaze upon the stars
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 understanding heart
Why don't they help us, try to help us

Before this clay and granit 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 anything survive
When these little minds tear you in two
What a town without pity can do
How can we keep love alive

How can anything survive
When these little minds tear you in two
What a town without pity can do
No it isn't very pretty

What a town without pity can do
