When I was a kid

I was really young

I fell in love

And I got stung

I tried it out

And I tried it on

When I was a kid

I was really young

When I was a kid

Everything was new

I had a lot of friends

I couldn't even get close to

And I tried so hard

That I got confused

When I was a kid

Everything was new

When I was a kid

I was on my own

I had a mother and a father

Til I was almost grown

But when I was alone

I was all alone

When I was a kid

I was on my own

When I was a kid

I got off the track

I walked down the road

And I never did turn back

God deliver me

From this case in fact

When I was a kid

I got off the track
