You're seventeen a lovely age to be
And I'm a little bit older now than you
But when you're twenty
You'll think less of me
You'll wanna go around with other guys

Your hopes your dreams
And then your love will fade
Just habit will be left
For us to share
By then you'll find
The plans your heart once made
Have disappeared
Like castles in the air

So c'mon an' give me
Three years of love (oh, baby just)
Three years of love (oh, honey honey)
Three years of being together
That's all the time we have (they say that youth)
Doesn't last forever (no, no, no)
It doesn't last forever (just give me)
Three years of love (oh, baby just)
Three years of love
Three years of love
Three years of love

In three years time
You won't feel quite the same
Right now you can't believe
That's true
But time itself
Not you must take the blame
I'll be the boy you once knew long ago

So c'mon an' give me
Three years of love (oh, baby just)
Three years of love (oh, honey honey)
Three years of being together
That's all the time we have (they say that youth)
Doesn't last forever (no, no, no)
It doesn't last forever (just give me)
Three years of love (oh, baby just)
Three years of love (ooh)

Three years of love (oh, baby just)
Three years of love (oh, honey honey)
Three years of being together
That's all the time we have (they say that youth)
Doesn't last forever (no, no, no)
It doesn't last forever (just give me)
Three years of love (oh, baby just)
Three years of love
Three years of love
Three years of love
