I may be young, but I'm not foolish
I can tell real love from a game
I'm not gonna let you use me
Heartbreak play mates, say it's not the same

[Chorus]
Young love, ring around the roses
Young love, searchin' for a heart so true
Young love, a pocket full of posies
Young love, all adds up to me and you

I traded all my childish treasures
For a burnin' love so true
It's gonna be my first time around
Heartbreak's high game, love shake you down

[Chorus]
