(Kennerly/Robbins)
She was sitting Cross-legged on the hood of a Ford,
Filing down her nails with an emery board
Talking to her friends about people they knew,
And all of the things 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"
As they talked a little while he passed by,
She smiled at him, he just said "Hi"
He said 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 that bind Young Love
Well she just couldn't stop herself from thinking about him,
At the store down town she saw him again
She had both hands full, He held open the door
He said "My name is Billy, and I've seen you before
Can I Help you with these? Can I Give you a Ride?
Can I Take you out on 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 that bind Young Love
Well, From that day on you couldn't keep them apart,
They were side by side and heart to heart
Momma cried as Billy slipped the ring on her hand,
When the baby was born she was crying again,
Well, He worked real hard and put some money down,
On a little Ol' house at the edge of town
And That Night as he held her, he Couldn't believe,
That God had made a girl he could 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 that bind Young Love
She was sitting Cross-legged on the hood of a Ford,
Filing down her nails with an emery board
