We Can't Go On This Way

Sugar is sweet but you're much sweeter

Flowers are pretty but you're even prettier

Your love is warmer than a summer day

But you're so young and we can't go on this way (Oh, no)

You're the fruit on the tree in the Garden of Eden (Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la)

I should keep away but I feel the need (Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la)

And my love grows stronger every day

But you're so young and we can't go on this way (Oh, no)

It hurts to part with you now

But our love's the kind they don't allow

So, just hold on, soon I'll be gone

But always remember

Sugar is sweet but you're much sweeter

Flowers are pretty but you're even prettier

And how I wish that I could stay

But you're so young and we can't go on this way

So, just hold on, soon I'll be gone

But always remember

Sugar is sweet but you're much sweeter

Flowers are pretty but you're even prettier

And how I wish that I could stay

But you're so young and we can't go on this way

(Sugar is sweet)

You're so young and we can't go on this way

(Flowers are pretty)

You're so young and we can't go on this way
