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

I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for the girls I had a bad yen
& I had quite a ball - when I was young

When I was young it was more important
They'd more fun and they laughed much louder
Yeah! when I was young

I met my first love at thirteen
She was brown & I was pretty green
And I loved quite a lot
When I was young

My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in fellow man
& I was so much older then
When I was young. etc...
