When I Was Young Songtext
von Eric Burdon & The Animals

The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then
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 bad yen
And i had quite a ball
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


Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
Nanananananananana
Yeah

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

I was really so much older then
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young
Baby
Baby
Baby
Baby
When I was a wild child
Just a cabin sweep without no shoes
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young


When I was young, yeah
