Young Love (Strong Love)

She was sitting cross-legged on a hood of a Ford
 Filing down her nails with a emory 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"
 And 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
 And 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, 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

 Well, from that day on you couldn't keep them apart
 They were side by side, heart to heart
 And Mama cried as Billy slipped the ring on her hand
 And when the baby was born, she was crying again
 Well, he worked real hard and put some money down
 On a little old 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, 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
