When I Was Young Songtext
von 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

Smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for girls, I had a bad aim
Oh, I meant so very much
When I was young
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

Don′t you know, I met my first love at thirteen?
She was brown, and I was pretty green
I learned so very much
When I was young
When I was young


Love, my love, my love
Love, my love
Love, my love
Yeah, yeah

When I was young, it was more important
Pain more painful, laughter much louder, yeah
When I was young
When I was a baby

My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in my fellow men
I was really so much older then
When I was young
When I was young

When I was a baby, baby, baby, oh
When I was quite young, yeah
Just a guy on the streets with no shoes
Right now baby, oh lord
When I was young


When I was young
When I was young
When I was a baby, baby, baby, oh love
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young, yeah
