THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUTH
(Bob Sherman / Dick Sherman)


Annette Funicello - 1962




(It isn't easy to be very young)
(That's the truth, the truth about youth)


It isn't easy to love and know
That time will come and your love may go
But nothing's certain when you're very young
That's the truth, the truth about youth


We aren't ready to give our hearts
We're so helpless if true love starts
Too young for marriage and too old for our games
That's the truth, the truth about youth


They say that youth is wasted on the young
It's a precious gift that carelessly we spend
They won't believe it isn't always fine
To love a boy and call him just a friend


They call us foolish, wild and free
I guess they forgot how they used to be
(It isn't easy to be very young)
That's the truth, the truth about youth
(About youth)
The truth about youth.........the truth
(The truth about youth)
