When I was young, I knew that I
Would meet a girl who would catch my eye
But as it went, it didn't work out that way
All the girls that I knew
Preferred the boys who would stay untrue
Oh why do boys only break girls hearts?
What is love and what is not?
I need to know for my bleeding heart
Cause love ain't easy or so I'm told, oh boy
And then it happened as I thought
I saw a girl and my heart was caught
O yeah, my time has finally come
I asked her out and she said yes
Oh my Lord, what do I do? What's next?
Oh no, I didn't think this far
What is love and what is not?
I need to know for my bleeding heart
Cause love ain't easy or so I'm told, oh boy
Fast forward 10 years later
We're married now and we have a child
Oh boy, we have a little boy
And as he grows up into a man
He needs to know and understand
That there's more to girls than sweet romance
I'll teach him
What is love and what is not
He needs to know for his bleeding heart
Cause love ain't easy and yes I know, oh boy
Yes I know, oh boy
