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, come on, girl, you've 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's 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, come on, 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- They say, "Hey Get a job and settle down, come on girl, you had your fun" "Hey Get a daughter and a son, that's just what you do here When you're young"
