When I Was Young (Live)

When I Was Young - Eric Burdon

Rooms The 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, yeah

And for girls, I had a bad, yeah

And I had quite a ball

When I was young

When I was young it was more important

Pain more painful, laughter the 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
