Young Free and Happy

Young Free and Happy - Girl Thing

When I was only 6 years old and

I was kicked around at school

I used to close my eyes and try to hide

And when I finally told my dad he said

Kids can be so cruel

They don't really care what lies inside

I'm gonna wait a while have some fun

Take my time

I'm in no rush to make you mine all mine

But when it happens baby you can take me anywhere

The sky could fall on us and I won't care

Because we're young free and happy

No need to feel down troubled or sad

'Cause when you're young free and happy

You know it's the best thing at you'll ever have

I was only sweet fifteen when my mama told me a story

About the birds and bees and everything

You got plenty of years to decide

So I advise you not to ignore me

Boys are only after just one thing

I'm gonna wait a while have some fun take my time

I'm in no rush to make you mine all mine

But when it happens baby you can take me anywhere

The sky could fall on us and I won't care

Because we're young free and happy

No need to feel down troubled or sad

'Cause when you're young free and happy

You know it's the best thing at you'll ever have

It was 1999 when a stranger said to me

You wanna come with me and dance and sing

When I asked my mum and dad they said

If that's what you wanna be

I left home and that changed everything

What did she say

And she told me to never let a chance go by

What did he say

And he told me to love me and

It's not goodbye

What did they say

And they told me to live a little by your side

What did they say what did they say

'Cause when you're young free and happy

No need to feel down troubled or sad

'Cause when you're young free and happy

You know it's the best thing at you'll ever have

Because we're young free and happy

No need to feel down
