Young, Free and Happy Songtext
von Girl Thing

Oh, oh, yeah, come on now

When I was only six years old
I was kicked around at school
I used to close my eyes and tried 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 oh 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 be down, troubled or sad
′Cause when you′re young, free, and happy
You know it's the best thing that you′ll ever have


I was only sweet 15
When my mama told me a story, yeah
About the birds and bees and everything
(Birds and bees and everything)
You got plenty of years to decide
So I advise you not to ignore me (yeah, come on)
Boys are only after just one thing (one thing)

I'm gonna wait a while, have some fun, take my time
I′m in no rush to make you mine oh 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 be down, troubled or sad
'Cause when you're young, free, and happy
You know it′s the best thing that you′ll ever have

It was 1999
When a stranger said to me
"You wanna come with me and dance and sing" (yeah)
When I asked my mom 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, "Don′t ever let a chance go by"
What did he say
And he told me some nice things I could buy
What did they say
And they told me, "We're definitely by your side"
What did they say, what did they say, oh

′Cause when you're young, free, and happy
No need to be down, troubled or sad
′Cause when you're young, free, and happy
You know it's the best thing that you′ll ever have

Because we′re young, free, and happy
No need to be down, troubled or sad
'Cause when you′re young, free, and happy
You know it's the best thing that you′ll ever have

Because we're young, free, and happy (free and happy)
No need to be down, troubled or sad (troubled or sad)
′Cause when you're young, free, and happy
You know it's the best thing that you′ll ever have
