The rooms were so much colder than
My father was a soldier than
The times were very hard
When I was young
When I was young
I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for boys I had a bad yen
I had quite a ball
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young it was more important
Pain more painful,the laughter much louder,yeah
When I was young
When I was young
I met my first love at thirteen
He was brown,and I was pretty green
I learned quite a lot
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young it was more important
Pain more painful,the laughter much louder,yeah
When I was young
When I was young
My faith was so much stronger than
I believe in fellow men
I was much older than
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young
