Eric Burdon - When I Was Young lyrics

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
