It was a quarter to twelve
I was getting ready for you to tell
While we were standing there
your eyes had tears 'cause this world ain't fair

You said that you were sorry
You felt so bad for telling me
Of the truth that haunts your dreams
that won't let you sleep, that won't set you free

You said it wasn't me
It wasn't me that caused her to leave
It's that other guy
Her heart is longing for years flown by

What can a young man do
when he's in love but she don't love you?
It's not yet over
Her heart still belongs to someone else
What can a young man do?
He fell in love but she won't fall too

You said that you were sorry
You felt so bad for telling me
But you said it wasn't me
It wasn't me but how could that be?

What can a young man do
when he's in love but she don't love you?
What can a young man do
when he's found love but it won't come true?
