Lyrics for When I Was Young

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 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 The laughter much louder, yeah When I was young When I was young I met my first love at 13 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 Laughter 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 so much older then When I was young When I was young Yeah, when I was young
