the ramones - when i was young lyrics

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...
