Loretta Young Lyrics

Loretta you're young
Loretta you'll learn
When someone takes you and loves you
And loves you
For I was young too
With trouble like you
It hurts when you throw love away

Leave history for widows
Wipe his story from windows
Leave history for widows
And learn to live again

This old dusty house
With it's dark, dampened past
Your heart is broken
So broken
With a broom from the wall
Sweep it away
We're not sinless or stainless
He'll arrange this

Come down from your frozen ivory tower
It hurts when you give love away
But you'll get it right someday
Loretta you're young
Loretta you'll learn
When someone takes you and loves you
And loves you...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Loretta Young lyrics by Gentle Waves, The

by mkelly87

Loretta Young was an actress from the 1930's who got pregnant by a married guy. I don't know if the gentle waves are doing a cover here. The song I guess is about the situation Loretta Young was in... she had to cover up her pregnancy and pretend it didn't happen.
