[Verse 1]
I'm a hero in a book
I'm a picture on your wall
I'm on the TV
I'm arrogant, seen it all
I'm a distraction
Like a hideous new disease
I'm in the papers
But that's not really me

[Chorus]
Young heart
Give me something I can do
Young heart
Give me something I can do

[Verse 2]
I'm a decision
I'm a morning filled with shame
I'm a perversion
But I don't know its name
In a car
On the floor
Up against the wall
With a friend or two
Someone to watch it all

[Pre-Chorus]
Young heart
Everyone does it here
Young heart
Does your mother know what you've seen?
Young heart
Everyone does it here
Young heart
Does your mother know where you've been?

[Chorus]
Young heart
Give me something I can do
Young heart
Give me something I can do

[Bridge]
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do now?
I don't believe in it
I don't believe in it
What are you gonna say?
What are you gonna say now?
I don't believe in it
I don't believe in it
What are you gonna feel?
What are you gonna feel now?
I don't believe in it
I don't believe in it
Where are you gonna go?
Where are you gonna go now?
I don't believe in it
I don't believe in it

Young heart, like you, you, you
Young heart like you, you, you

[Verse 3]
I'm not the question
I'm not the pain
I'm not surprised
And I'm certainly not ashamed
I want your number
I want your name
I won't remember
Young hearts all the same

[Pre-Chorus]
Young heart
Everyone does it here
Young heart
Does your mother know what you've seen?
Young heart
Everyone does it here
Young heart
Does your mother know where you've been?

[Chorus]
Young heart
Give me something I can do
Young heart
Give me something I can do

[Outro]
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do now?
I don't believe in it
I don't believe in it
What are you gonna say?
What are you gonna say now?
I don't believe in it
I don't believe in it
What are you gonna feel?
What are you gonna feel now?
I don't believe in it
I don't believe in it
Where are you gonna go?
Where are you gonna go now?
I don't believe in it
I don't believe in it
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do now?
I don't believe in it
I don't believe in it
