I Was Never Young

I was never young, even as a child

Said, I was never young; I've always felt beguiled

Oh, I just never smiled, but you have a glow, a glow from an inner sense I'll never know

'Cause I was never young, even as a boy

No, I was never young; kindness seemed no ploy to temper or annoy

But you, you have a mind full of wonderment I'll never find 'cause I was never young

I was never young

Ever since I was a kid, I've been a brooding basket case

Ever since I was a kid, I've been a brooding basket case

Ever since I was a kid, I've been a brooding basket case
