When You're Young

You can leave
Or you can stay
But no one likes the one that got away

Don't dare to dream
Don't pretend
If you think you're someone special
Think again

Everybody's getting married
Get divorced, cause they ain't happy
Now the kids just see their daddy on the weekends

Buy a house and get a mortgage
Sell it when you can't afford it
It goes round and round and round
You just repeat it

They say hey
Get a job and settle down
Common girl you had your fun
Hey
Get a daughter and a son
That's just what you do here
When you're young

You fall in love
You think the first one is the one
So you hold on

And when you're old
You want more
And you'll regret all of the things
You didn't do before

Everybody found their meaning
That's the reason they don't see
How it goes round and round and round
You just repeat it

They say hey
Get a job and settle down
Common girl you had your fun
Hey
Get a daughter and a son
That's just what you do here
When you're young

Blame the world and everybody else
For every heartbreak
Hate it when somebody's doing well

And all they say is hey
Get a job and settle down
Common girl you had your fun
Hey
Get a daughter and a son
That's just what you do here
When you're young
