From the recordings WHEN LOVE WAS WILD and WHEN LOVE WAS WILD
Lyrics
You walked into my class on Monday morning
Blue eyes flashing, my heart had no warning
She sat beside me, and gave me your smile
My teenage hormones went crazy wild
Couldn't hear the teacher, couldn't read a line
All I could think was, 'Girl, I'm gonna make you mine
She passed me a note, said, 'Meet me at three
I wrote back to her, 'Forever I'm yours, if you'll have me
We were young, and crazy wild, we were burning so hot inside
Two hearts racing on a roller-coaster ride
They called it puppy love, said it wouldn't last
But we were building a forever, and building it to last
Take me back to my teens
When love was wild and the nights were obscene
Raging hormones, and hearts on fire
Young love burning with raging desires
Take me back to our teens
When you were my girl, I was your king
Against the world, whatever the cost
We'd never give up, never get lost
Oh-baby-baby, I'm so crazy for you
You and me, baby, Yes I do
Behind the gym where the old oak grew
You whispered to me softly, 'I'm in love with you
My hands began shaking, my face turned red
A thousand crazy thoughts ran through my head
We kissed beneath that summer moon
Dancing to a song from the late afternoon
Your perfume lingered after I kissed you
I remember every word you said to me
"My mother loves you, and I do too
Your mama said I love him, your daddy said to wait
But our hearts were running faster than a horse out of the gate
We had no money, no house, no jobs
Just a girl who loved a boy, and a loving young man
Take me back to my teens
When love was wild and the nights were obscene
Raging hormones, and hearts on fire
Young love burning with raging desires
Take me back to our teens
When you were my girl, I was your king
Against the world, whatever the cost
We'd never give up, never get lost
Oh-baby-baby, I'm so crazy for you
You and me, baby, Yes I do
They said we'd change, they said we'd grow
They said there's so much we didn't know
But when the years came rolling through
Every road still led me back to you
Through every storm, through joy and tears
We kept that promise across the years
That first young kiss beneath the tree
Became the love that set us free
Take me back to my teens
When we were young and chasing dreams
Our hearts were racing, our love was real
Nobody knew how we made each other feel
Take me back to my teens
To the sweetest love I'd ever seen
They said forever was just a dream
But forever became our everything
Oh-baby-baby, I'm hot for you
Still got that fire, still got that dream
From that classroom to eternity
It's always been you and me
Take me back.
Back to my teens
