Lyrics

Spring

Dry your eyes, boy
There's no need to be sad
Forget about yesterday
And the bad times that you've had

You've loved and lost and
Now you're feeling so blue
But can't you see it's me
Who really loves you

With the love I've got you'll forget about her
And find it easy to live without her

(It's only springtime)
Ooh, you're too young to say
You're through with love

(It's only springtime)
And I'll be different, boy
I promise you
I swear to you

Once more you tell me
About her new friend
You say your heart's
Been broken again

How many times
Have you looked into my eyes?
Don't you realise
We're two of a kind?

With the love I've got you'll forget about her
And find it easy to live without her

(It's only springtime)
Hey, you're too young to say
You're through with love

(It's only springtime)
And I'll be different
I'll be different
I swear to you

I've been watching
All your love affairs
Three years now
Don't you think I care?

How many times
Have you looked into my eyes?
Don't you realise
We're two of a kind?

(It's only springtime)
You're too young
To say you're through, love

(It's only springtime)
And I'll be different
I'll be different, boy, yeah

(It's only springtime)
You're too young to say
You're through, love, through with love

(It's only springtime)
I promise you
I swear to you
Ooh, I promise you (It's only springtime)
Yeah, ooh
It's only springtime
