Jenny loves John
But he doesn't care
Now that he loves another
I know that he's been getting his share
Sometimes want to tell her
But I wouldn't dare
And tonight when she calls
She won't know that I'm there

Remember the nights
The thing that we said
And when we climbed in the back
Love was driving me out of my head
And I want to tell you
May lightning strike me dead
If he wasn't the best love I ever had

It was young love running wild
It was young love, only young love
Like a child, it was young love
Young love, only young love
Running wild and running free

Waiting for the night
It falls in the street
She's just a young girl learning
Moving in, shaking at the knees
Now don't say forever, just say what you need
Love was never a stranger
When he called on me

It was young love running wild
It was young love, only young love
Like a child, it was young love
Young love, only young love
Running wild and running free

Jenny loves John
But he doesn't care
Now that he loves another I know he's been getting his share
Sometimes want to tell her
But I wouldn't dare
And tonight when she calls
She won't know that I'm there

It was young love running wild
It was young love, only young love
Like a child, it was young love
Young love, only young love
Running wild and running free

Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972.

In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
