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
