Eric Burdon When I Was Young Lyrics

When I Was Young Lyrics

When I was young

 Eric Burdon & The Animals

 

 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 hall.

 When I was young.

 

 When I was young it was more important.

 Pain more painful, the laughter 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.

 Pain more painful, laughter much louder, yeah.

 When I was young.

 

 When I was young.

 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.

 When I was young.

 When I was young.

 When I was young.
