Lyrics

Deep in the city
Long after dark
People are fighting
For each other's hearts
Gone are the lovers
Who've lost in vain
Only the toughest
Are those who'll remain

Cause the young and the restless,
They don't walk away broken-hearted
The young and the restless,
They can take it when love's departed
The lonely and desperate
Are hanging on to the hand of fate,
But the young and the restless
Are reaching out for a new embrace tonight

Somebody's acting
Like they're in love
Someone believes it,
And falls for the bluff;
His great performance-
Her tragic flaw;
Upstaged by romance
Like a sock on the jaw

But the young and the restless,
They don't walk away broken-hearted
The young and the restless,
They can take it when love's departed
The lonely and desperate
Are hanging on to the hand of fate,
But the young and the restless
Are reaching out for a new embrace tonight
