The Way Young Lovers Do is described by Clinton Heylin as a lounge-jazz sound that still sticks out like Spumante at a champagne buffet.
In his review for Rolling Stone, Greil Marcus also spoke of the song as,
A poor jazz-flavored cut that, is uncomfortably out of place on this record".

[Verse 1]
We strolled through fields all wet with rain
And back along the lane again
There in the sunshine
In the sweet summertime
The way that young lovers do
I kissed you on the lips once more
And we said goodbye just adoring the nighttime
Yeah, that's the right time
To feel the way that young lovers do
[Chorus]
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that we were
And the way that we were meant to be
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that I was for you
And you were for me
And then we danced the night away
And turned to each other, say, I love you, I love you
The way that young lovers do
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that we were
And the way that we were meant to be
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that I was for you
And you were for me
And then we danced the night away
And turned to each other, say, I love you, I love you
The way that young lovers do
