ERIC BURDON lyrics - When I Was Young

(E. Burdon/J. Weider/V. Briggs/D. J.McCulloch/B. A.Jenkins)



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 quite a gall

When I was young



When I was young it was more important

They'd more pain but they laughed much louder yeah

When I was young, when I was young



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



When I was young it was more important

They'd more pain but they laughed much louder yeah

When I was young, when I was young



My faith was so much stronger then

I believed in fellow man

And I was so much older then

When I was young, when I was young

When I was young, when I was young

When I was young, when I was young
