When I, When I was a boy
Well I was careless and I was foolish
And I treated life as if it were a toy
Yeah I was careless and I was foolish
And I treat life as if it were a little baby's toy
Oh boy, oh boy
When I, when I was a man
Well I shouldered off my boyish ways
And I set about to learn the best I can
And all the wicked ways of this old world
Were just so hard to understand
Oh man, oh man
But if you're stepping hard
you're bound to make some noise
And if you're crying
Then I hope you're overjoyed
And if you're lacking
Let me give you what I have
'Cause I've got your back
Well I'm coming back
Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh
When I, when I was in love
Man I would count my blessings daily
'Cause it seems try fell upon me from above
Oh but somehow time had tricked me to believe it
That it just wasn't enough
Mmmmm I fucked it up, mmmm
But if you're stepping hard
you're bound to make some noise
And if you're crying
Then I hope you're overjoyed
And if you're lacking
Let me give you what I have
'Cause I've got your back
And I always have
Oh yeah!
Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh
