I Call It Love Lyrics

I Call It Love
By Mel McDaniel
Two young kids, a night in May
A country road and a Chevrolet,
Beneath the summer moon
Almost a woman, almost a man
Things like this get out of hand
Seventeen, and that's too soon
Chorus:
You can call it youth
And blame it on the night
You can call it life
And say that it's not right
You can call it foolish
Blame it on the stars above
Call it what you want
I call it love
Blood runs high, and wrong or right
They lose their heads, run off one night
And what's done can't be undone
Thinkin' life's an easy thing
A borrowed dress and a wedding ring
Eighteen, and that's too young
Time goes on and in a while
It's a rented room and a month old child
And they're down
To just gettin' by
It's hard to laugh when life's that way
People shake their heads and say
They won't make it
Oh, but they might
