When I Was Young - Ramones

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 that yen

And I had quite a ball when I was young

When I was young it was more important

Pain more painful and 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

and 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

When I was young when I was young
