[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] I smoked my first cigarette at ten And for girls, I had a bad yen And I had quite a ball When I was young [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] When I was young, it was more important Pain more painful The laughter much louder, yeah When I was young When I was young [Verse 3] 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 [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] When I was young, it was more important Pain more painful Laughter much louder, yeah When I was young When I was young [Verse 4] 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 [Outro] When I was young When I was young When I was young...
