Once upon a time a girl was taught to hold
Her precious gift more precious than gold
Hold her sweet lovin’ her body her life
All for the man who would call her his wife

Boys and girls just dyin' for love
Lovers who think they are above
Comin’ down with what they’ve heard of
Boys and girls just dyin' for love

Oh times change and before very long
Good girls are giving what used to be wrong
Sex revolution and kids on the pill
I do in this case means only I will

Boys and girls just dyin' for love
Lovers who think they are above
Comin’ down with what they’ve heard of
Boys and girls just dyin' for love

Fear is in fashion and passion betrayed
Now is the new age of lover’s dismay
Sex as a weapon and love goes unmade
Nobody yet who can come to our aid

Boys and girls just dyin' for love
Lovers who think they are above
Comin’ down with what they’ve heard of
Boys and girls just dyin' for love

Then…dyin' dyin' dyin' for love
Dyin' dyin' dyin' for love
Dyin' dyin' dyin' for love
