No, they're not in love anymore
They are stuck and afraid
Don't worry babe
Don't get too down on yourself
They were in love when you were made

His old boots finally wore out
And the fire in his belly faded
Her supple breast sadly sagged
As her tender heart grew jaded

[Chorus]
A life of love is a long time
When you know that it's only one time

You were the reason they stuck around
But you're old enough now
Don't worry babe
Not till you've been there too, will your world be less cruel

The cold truth finally seeps out
Until your memory is saturated
Your fragile smile loses teeth and
Your sparkling eyes grew faded

[Chorus]
A life of love is a long time
When you know that it's only one time
The good is not so hard to forget
Though it seems far away
Don't worry babe, don't get too down on yourself
They were in love when you were made

[Chorus]
A life of love is a long time
When you know that it's only one time

[Chorus]
A life of love is a long time
When you know it's only one time
