When I was only 6 years old and I was kicked around at school
I used to close 
my eyes and try to hide
And when I finally told my dad he said, "kids can be 
so cruel
They don't really care what lies inside"

* I'm gonna wait a 
while, have some fun, take my time
I'm in no rush to make you mine all 
mine
But when it happens baby you can take me anywhere
The sky could fall 
on us and I won't care

** Because we're young, free and happy
No need 
to feel down, troubled or sad
Coz when you're young, free and happy
You 
know it's the best thing you'll ever have

I was only sweet fifteen when 
my mama told me a story
About the birds and bees and everything
You got 
plenty of years to decide, so I advise you not to ignore me
Boys are only 
after just one thing

[Repeat * , **]

It was 1999 when a stranger 
said to me
You wanna come with me and dance and sing
When I asked my mum 
and dad they said "If that's what you wanna be"
I left home and that changed 
everything

What did she say
And she told me to never let a chance go 
by
What did he say
And he told me to love me and it's not goodbye What did 
they say
And they told me to live a little by your side
What did they say, 
what did they say

[Repeat **] till fade
