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"
