"When I Was Young" lyrics
The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then
And times were very hard
When I was young
When I was young
I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And as for girls, I had a bad yen
And I had a ball
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young, it was more important
Pain more painful, for a laugh much louder, yeah
When I was young
When I was young
I met my first love at thirteen
She was brown, and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young, it was more important
Pain more painful and laugh much louder, yeah
When I was young
When I was young
My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in fellow men
And I was really so much older then
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young
My father was a soldier then
And times were very hard
When I was young
When I was young
I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And as for girls, I had a bad yen
And I had a ball
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young, it was more important
Pain more painful, for a laugh much louder, yeah
When I was young
When I was young
I met my first love at thirteen
She was brown, and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young, it was more important
Pain more painful and laugh much louder, yeah
When I was young
When I was young
My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in fellow men
And I was really so much older then
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young
