Lyrics:
The rooms were so much colder thenMy father was a soldier thenThe times were very hardWhen I was youngWhen I was youngI smoked my first cigarette at tenAnd for boys I had a bad yenI had quite a ballWhen I was youngWhen I was youngWhen I was young it was more importantPain more painful, the laughter much louder, yeahWhen I was youngWhen I was youngI met my first love at thirteenHe was brown, and I was pretty greenI learned quite a lotWhen I was youngWhen I was youngWhen I was young it was more importantPain more painful, the laughter much louder, yeahWhen I was youngMy faith was so much stronger thenI believed in fellow menI was so much older thenWhen I was youngWhen I was youngWhen I was young
