lirik lagu sammy j - back when i was your age
sammy (sung)
little darling, you’re the world to me and soon you’ll see the world is full of wonder and it’s waiting just for you
but as you turn eighteen, it’s my job to intervene, and offer you some guidance, things i wish that i once knew
’cause i remember how it feels at this precious age, a child put behind you and your future now an empty page
i speak not as a father, let me talk now as a friend, as i reveal what i was like back then
back when i was your age, (ooh, ooh)
your age (ooh ooh ooh)
so long ao
back when i was your age (ooh ooh)
your age (ooh ooh)
there are things i think you need to know
i was basically a m-ssive deal, on and off the sporting feild
my nickname was legend, it’s embar-ssing but true
and by the age of twenty-three, i’d started my own charity, performing keyhole surgery on kids in kathmandu
and i once saved a group of puppies from a burning orphanage, then i went back inside and saved the orphans too
so having explained what i was like when i was younger, i expect the same behaviour now from you
’cause, back when i was your age, (ooh, ooh)
your age (ooh ooh ooh)
i can’t deny
that, back when i was your age (ooh ooh)
your age (ooh ooh)
i was pretty much a perfect guy
but the funny thing is, there’s no doc-mentary evidence, confirming that my conduct was as pure as described
but trust me, it’s the truth, i wouldn’t fabricate my youth. and rumors that discredit me are just malicious lies
’cause, you might fear that i was lazy and my morals fairly hazy, posessing several att-tudes that put me now to shame
that i was racked with insecurity, and lacking in maturity, and pr-ne to public nudity on busses, trams, and trains
and if you hear that i once drank too much and threw up in a rubbish bin on swanston street in two-thousand and three
whil’st only wearing underpants, ’cause that’s just how i rolled
i promise you that person wasn’t me
’cause, back when i was your age, (ooh, ooh)
your age (ooh ooh ooh)
i was okay… i might have been a little, how to put it, slightly odd like not the total phsycopath but still a work in progress. and i know that people grow and you are just beginning so, go and make mistakes just maybe less than i did
and i’m not saying not to have a little fun just stop . and . think
’is the thing i’m doin’ dumb?’
and if it is then good news kid
you don’t have to do it ’cause your dad already did when he was
your age, (ooh, ooh)
your age (ooh ooh ooh)
now you can take the n-ble path. ’cause every little stupid, selfish, risky thing i did all on your behalf
back when i was your age, (ooh, ooh)
your age (ooh ooh ooh)
but i can tell
soon you will be my age (ooh ooh)
my age (ooh ooh)
and you’ll be lying to your kids as well
okay you got me, i confess, at your age i was a mess, and if i’m honest, i’ve still got a lot to learn
so if you stumble in, and you vomit in the bin
i won’t ask questions, if you ask none in return
