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 ball
When I was young
When I was young, it was more important
Pain more pain
But I laughed a 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
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
When I was young, it was more important
Pain more painful
Laughed a 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
Na na na na na na
When I was young
How to Format Lyrics:
- Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
- Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
- Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
- Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
- If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
