When I Was A Young Girl

Lyrics

When I was a young girl
 All the guys I scored
 Now I've got older
 I see I have a lot to learn
 Yesterday's illusions may be tomorrow's smiles
 I look back and laugh every once in a while
 And it's always the same
 Who knows what's to blame?
 If I knew then what I know now
 Mistakes I wouldn't have made
 But you can't get a sneak review
 Of what you gonna go through
 And you gotta rely on your body and mind
 See the light from the shade
 Life is the same
 But time's gonna change
 Respect your view
 You look around mister please
 You can't even find the clue
 Some say you can change your life
 Some say that it's fake
 Sometimes when you find what to do
 Lord, it's too late
 ♪
 And it's always the same
 Who knows what's to blame?
 If I knew then what I know now
 Mistakes I wouldn't have made
 But you can't get a sneak review
 Of what you're gonna go through
 And you got to rely on your body and mind
 See the light from the tunnel
 Life is the same
 But time's gonna change
 Respective your view
 You look around for a mystery, oh
 But you can't even find the clue
 Some say you can change your life
 Some say that it's fake
 Sometimes when you find what to do
 Oh! Well, it's too late
