Marvin and Paula

[Verse 1]
Marvin and Paula
Young lovers in springtime
Drove down to Texas in a
Beat-up sedan
Slept in motels
Drank Cherry Coke cocktails
Two wild mustangs playin'
Catch me if you can

[Hook]
Uh-huh, young love is fine
Uh-huh, young love be mine

[Verse 2]
Marvin and Paula
Eloped in the springtime
Lived in a little white house on the
South side of town
Marvin pulled nightshift
At his old man's machine shop
Paula watched the Late Show in her
Housecoat and gown

[Hook]
Uh-huh, young love is fine
Uh-huh, young love be mine

[Verse 3]
Flowers on the table
Wilted in the darkness
Marvin stayed gone for
Two days at a time
Candlelight dinners
Lay cold in the garbage
Paula sat up
All night drinkin' wine

[Hook]
Uh-huh, young love is fine
Uh-huh, young love be mine

[Verse 4]
Accusations
Verifications
Five o'clock in the afternoon she laid
Cryin' in the bed
Don't know how to break up
Hopin' not to wake up
Ain't no amount of make-up could cover the
Bruises on her head

[Hook]
Uh-huh, young love is fine
Uh-huh, young love be mine

[Verse 5]
Marvin and Paula
Ten years have gone by
Seems like yesterday you
Held hands in the park
Marvin writes letters
To his mother from prison
Paula's just a memory
Carved out in the bark

[Hook]
Uh-huh, young love is fine
Uh-huh, young love be mine

Uh-huh, young love is fine
Uh-huh, young love be mine
