When I Was Younger
When I was younger, I used to seek pleasure
When I was younger, I used to drink wine
Now that I’m older, I’m rockin a cradle
Rockin a baby who’s always a-cryin
When I was younger, I used to dress fancy
When I was younger, I used to dress fine
Now that I’m older, there’s no time for dancing
No time for wasting on women and wine
Ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh
When I was younger, I told you I love ya
When I was younger, I said things like that
Said I would hold you and love you forever
Love you forever and never look back
