When I Was Young
The rooms were so much colder thenMy father was a soldier thenAnd times were very hardWhen I was youngWhen I was young
I smoked my first cigarette at tenAnd for girls, I had a bad yenAnd I had quite a ballWhen I was young
When I was young,It was more importantPain more painfulAnd laughter much louder, yeahWhen I was youngWhen I was young
I met my first love at thirteenShe was brown and I was pretty greenAnd I learned quite a lotWhen I was youngWhen I was young
When I was young,It was more importantPain more painfulAnd laughter much louder, yeahWhen I was youngWhen I was young
My faith was so much stronger thenI believed in fellow menAnd I was so much older thenWhen I was youngWhen I was youngWhen I was young
