Ooooh, you were just a little girl
When I moved into the neighbourhood
Backing singers: We used to run and play
And I lived, I lived just next door
Backing singers: I heard your mother say
Could hear your mother raising you to be good
Oh, baby
And two days before you were to be nineteen
With tears in your eyes
You come a running to me
You said the one thing
Backing singers: No, no, no
Your mother didn't tell you
Backing singers: Your mother hadn't told you of
And maybe
Backing singers: You
It's just a bit unfair
Backing singers: Don't share your love
And no matter, no matter, no matter, how strong you are
Backing singers: And no matter, no matter how strong you are
Your love you're gonna share
Backing singers: Gonna share
Backing singers: Gonna share
You're gonna share
Backing singers: Gonna share
Oooooh and you wanted, you wanted to run away
So, so afraid of what your mother might say
Backing singers: Need your help, friend, gonna understand
And after we sat down to have a talk, yeah
I knew I had to show you girl it just ain't your fault
Oh, baby
Now can't you see, you're just a human being
And what happened to you is a natural thing
And the one thing
Backing singers: All I know
Your mother didn't tell you
Backing singers: Your mother hadn't told you of
And maybe
Backing singers: You
It's just a bit hard to bear
Backing singers: Don't share your love
But no, no, no, no
Backing singers: No, no, no
No matter how strong you are
Backing singers: No matter how strong you are
Your love you're gonna share
Backing singers: Gonna share
Backing singers: Gonna share
You're gonna give it to somebody
Backing singers: Gonna share
Ooooh, you're gonna share
Backing singers: Laaaaa
You're gonna share
You're gonna give it up baby
Backing singers: Gonna share your love
Backing singers: Ooooh yeah
No matter what the price, you gonna make the sacrifice
Backing singers: Gonna share your love
Backing singers: Ooooh yeah
The flowers do it, and the birds do it
Backing singers: Gonna share your love
Backing singers: Ooooh yeah
