Fifteen

When you're only fifteen,
How can you know what hurt means?
When I saw that look in your eyes,
Right out into that cold night
Stole a car just to sleep inside.

I realize when you're fifteen
You surely know what love means.
When it gets taken aside and replaced
With nothing but fighting
You'll know what hurt means all right
I did not know where to go
I did not know showed up like a rainbow
I got much more than a pot of gold
I got a mate for my soul
Mate for my soul

We were only fifteen.
Trying to work out what it means
To want someone by your side for the rest of your life
And it not over for vice
Before I met you at fifteen
Back in nineteen-sixty
I always on the run
Unsure of what to run from

Or where I would be when morning would come
I did not know where to go
Then you showed up by of a rainbow
But you brought me much more than a pot of gold
I got a mate for my soul
I mate for my soul
Mate for my soul
Baby, you were made for my soul
