When I Was Young Lyrics - 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
