[Verse 1]
I fell in
To love with a young boy
And I fell out
Of love with the man that young boy became
So am I to blame
Or did the boy do the same?

[Verse 2]
I got in
When the goin' was easy
And I got out
When the goin' got tough
Well, should I have hung on (Should I've hung on)
To a love that went wrong? (Love that went wrong)
Or had I hung too long

[Bridge]
Childhood darlin'
Don't mean you no harm
'Til you go on and grow up and apart
Sooner or later
You wake up to a stranger
That stole away your darlin' and your heart

[Verse 3]
I fell in
To love with a young boy
And I fell out
Of love with a man
Who later may claim (Later may claim)
That I led him astray (Led him astray)
But truly, one day
I hope he turns out okay
In his own private way
[Outro]
Should I have hung on?
Should I have hung on?
Should I have hung on to you?
Should I have hung on?
Oh
Should I have hung on to you?
Oh-oh
