Baby we were young
Young love, won't you come
And sit real close to me?
For the first time
I've got you by my side
Darling, don't you know that
You've got the shaky knees?
Gotta roll the windows
Down inside your mind
And love was the shape we made
And love was the breath we drew
And youth was in our blood
And baby we were young
And baby we were young
Nineteen and twenty-three
With just four years between
We fell in love on a Tuesday in July
You're daddy lives so far away
Down in memphis, tennessee
There's a good chance
That you're gonna be my wife
That's right
And love was the shape we made
And love was the breath we drew
And youth was in our blood
And baby we were young
And baby we were young
And love was the shape we made
And love was the breath we drew
And youth was in our blood
And baby we were young
And baby we were young
And love was the name we gave
But love is a shaky thing
And You're not the one to blame
Cause baby we were young
Baby we were young
Baby we were young
Baby we were young
Baby we were young
Baby we were young
Baby we were young
Baby we were young
Baby we were young
Baby we were young
Baby we were young
And now
Baby we were young
Baby we were young no no no
Baby we were young
