They said: "oh, yeah, it's a tough world
You are restless and you are young"
I said: "oh, girl, it's a good twirl
And your time will come
Your time will come"
They said: "you came from the wrong side
He's a page from the end of the book"
I said: "you came from the right side"
Took me just one look
Then you understood
With a little love you will survive
With a little love you will get by
Do what you want go your own way
'cause it's your life
With a little love you make the start
Yeah, why lovers break each other's heart?
Do what you want go your own way
'cause it's your life
They said: "no future forget it
You came from the wrong side of town"
I said: "don't listen, don't let it
Let it bring you down
Make you wear a frown"
They said: "oh, let him down easy
Left at the hearts you have won"
I said: "that love is for livin'
Like the morning sun
It had just begun"
