DESCRIPTION:
"Young Love" is a song written by

Mary Christine Brockert (March 5, 1956 – December 26, 2010), better known by her stage name Teena Marie, was an American singer, songwriter, and producer. She was known by her childhood nickname Tina before taking the stage name Teena Marie; she later acquired the nickname of Lady Tee (sometimes spelled Lady T), given to her by collaborator and friend, Rick James.

She was known for her distinctive soulful vocals, which initially caused many listeners to believe she was African American. Her success in R&B and soul and loyalty to these genres would earn her the title Ivory Queen of Soul. She played rhythm guitar, keyboards, and congas. She also wrote, produced, sang, and arranged virtually all of her songs since her 1980 release, Irons in the Fire, which she later said was her favorite album.

Irons in the Fire is the third album by American R&B/soul singer Teena Marie, released on July 6, 1980 by Motown. Her first self produced effort, it was dedicated to her father, Thomas Leslie Brockert. It received positive reviews on its release.

Irons in the Fire peaked at #9 on the Black Albums chart and #38 on the Pop Albums chart. Lead single "I Need Your Lovin'" peaked at #9 on the US Black Singles chart and #37 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also reached #28 in the United Kingdom, making it Marie's second and last top 30 single in that country. In addition, along with the track "Chains", "I Need Your Lovin'" peaked at number two for two weeks on the dance charts.

Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh...
Yeah, yeah

I remember back in school
When I first laid my eyes on you
I saw your smile and knew right then and there
You reached out and touched my hand
And two became just one person
And no one could have stopped our love affair

But lately we can't even see each other, no
Without acting just like distant lovers
We've even took to fighting under covers
What a shame, baby, who's to blame

Young love
Why you wanna grow old on me now
Young love
Why you wanna grow old on me now

Don't say goodbye my love, no, no, no, baby
Just one more try, young love

I remember promises
The way I'd feel when we'd caress
I can't imagine where young love went wrong
You said that you needed me
But where is the sincerity
I-I guess that with our love that too has flown

'Cause lately we can't even touch each other
Without acting just like distant lovers
We've even took to fighting under covers
What a shame, baby, who's to blame

Young love
Why you wanna grow old on me now
Young love
Why you wanna grow old on me now

Don't say goodbye my love, no, no, no, baby
Just one more try, young love

Do you remember the young love
Do you remember the love we shared
Do you remember the young love
Do you remember the love we shared (When love was new, baby)

Do you remember the young love
Do you remember the love we shared (And we were to sugar)
Do you remember the young love
Do you remember the love we shared (Listen to me)

Don't you think we ought to give it one more try
We've come too far to be saying goodbye

Give it on more try
Ooh, don't you remember, baby
Young love was much better
Ooh, my love

Why you wanna grow old on me
Why you wanna keep me in misery
Why you wanna say goodbye
Why you want to make me cry, baby
Young love, my love, your love

Why you wanna say goodbye
Why you want to make me cry, baby
I'm cryin', baby
I'm cryin', baby
I'm cryin', young love
I'm cryin', young love
I'm cryin', young love
I'm cryin', young love

Don't say goodbye
Please
