7"/album version: Don't Let Our Youth Go to Waste By Jonathan Richman I need a walk by the flowers with someone who can share my fate It looks like no one can take your place And I could bleed in sympathy with you on those days, and I could drink up everything you have Don't let it go to waste I could give you memories to rival Berlin in the 30s I understand your dating bar ways And I could bleed in sympathy with you on those days, and I could drink up everything you have Don't let it go to waste Say something warm Say something bright I can't stand to see you when you're cold Nor can I stand being out of your light And I could bleed in sympathy with you on those days, and I could drink up everything you have Don't let our youth go to waste

True love will find you in the end
and you'll find out just who is your friend
Don't be sad, I know you will
but don't give up until...
True love will find you in the end
