Young at heart Yet what a start Old before their time Married young For love at last It was there only crime How come I love them now How come I love them more But all I wanted to do when I was Old was to walk out the door Young at heart Yet not a chance To be a child at all They told me tales They told me lies I shouldn't have known at all How come I love them now How come I love them more But all I wanted to do when I was Old was to walk out the door Young at heart Should exercise Who's right who's wrong Two brothers two more hearts Too hard to take it all How come I love them now How come I love them more But all I wanted to do when I was Old was to walk out the door
