Folks said it would never last And don't you know a teenage love Don't stand a snowball's chance They married in the spring And he pawned his old guitar For their wedding ring They got a three room apartment One the wrong side of town An old beat up truck With the muffler draggin on the ground Only love makes you bet your heart When you know one out of two get torn apart And only love makes you lay it on the line It's a chance worth taking just to find That one and only love As the years roll on They found themselves so far apart In their two story home One day he loaded up his car She said promise me you'll call And let me know where you are That night he called her from his motel room When talking turned to crying, that's when they knew Only love takes you by the heart And tells you when you haven't been so smart Only love survives the worst of times So count your many blessings if you find Your one and only love Only love makes you bet your heart When you know one out of two get torn apart And only love makes you lay it on the line It's a chance worth taking just to find That one and only love Makes you bet your heart When you know one out of two get torn apart And only love makes you lay it on the line It's a chance worth taking just to find That one and only love
