Lyrics

[Verse 1] Marvin and Paula Young lovers in springtime Drove down to Texas in a Beat-up sedan Slept in motels Drank Cherry Coke cocktails Two wild mustangs playin' Catch me if you can [Hook] Uh-huh, young love is fine Uh-huh, young love be mine [Verse 2] Marvin and Paula Eloped in the springtime Lived in a little white house on the South side of town Marvin pulled nightshift At his old man's machine shop Paula watched the Late Show in her Housecoat and gown [Hook] Uh-huh, young love is fine Uh-huh, young love be mine [Verse 3] Flowers on the table Wilted in the darkness Marvin stayed gone for Two days at a time Candlelight dinners Lay cold in the garbage Paula sat up All night drinkin' wine [Hook] Uh-huh, young love is fine Uh-huh, young love be mine [Verse 4] Accusations Verifications Five o'clock in the afternoon she laid Cryin' in the bed Don't know how to break up Hopin' not to wake up Ain't no amount of make-up could cover the Bruises on her head [Hook] Uh-huh, young love is fine Uh-huh, young love be mine [Verse 5] Marvin and Paula Ten years have gone by Seems like yesterday you Held hands in the park Marvin writes letters To his mother from prison Paula's just a memory Carved out in the bark [Hook] Uh-huh, young love is fine Uh-huh, young love be mine Uh-huh, young love is fine Uh-huh, young love be mine
