When I Was A Young Boy
Composer(s): Chris Youlden
Performer(s): Savoy Brown



When I was a young boy

Advice I would scorn
Now I'm getting a little older
I know I gotta lot to learn

Yesterday's illusions

Are tomorrow's smiles

I look back and laugh

Baby sometimes in a while

And it always seems the same
And who knows what's to blame
If I knew then what I know now
The mistakes I wouldn't have made

But you can't get a sneak preview
Of a what you're gonna go thru
And you have to rely on your body and mind
To save you life from shame

Life's the same but time does change
Respective of your view
You're lookin' for the mystery
But you can't find a clue

Some say a man makes his life
Some say that it's fate
But when you find out what to do
Oh sometimes it's too late

And it always seems the same
And who knows what's to blame
If I knew then what I know now
The mistakes I wouldn't have made

But you can't get a sneak preview
Of a what you're gonna go thru
and you have to rely on your body and mind
To save you life from shame

Life's the same but time does change
Respective of your view
You're lookin' for the mystery
Oh you can't find a clue

Some say a man makes his life
Some say that it's fate
But when you find out what to do
Oh sometimes it's too late
