I Call It Love
By Mel McDaniel
[G]Two young kids, a [Bm]night in May
A [C]country road and a Chevrolet,
Be[G]neath [D] the summer [G]moon
[G]Almost a woman, [Bm]almost a man
[C]Things like this get out of hand
Seven[G]teen, [D] and that's too [G]soon
Chorus:
You can call it [Em]youth
And [C]blame it on the [G]night
You can call it [Em]life
And [C]say that it's not [G]right
You can call it [Bm]foolish
Blame it [C]on the [D]stars abo[G]ve
Call it what you [Em]want[D]
I call it [C]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
Chorus
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
Chorus
