I used to think somehow that times would never change,
You taught me everything and I know you're not to blame,
When I was young... I believed in your kind of magic,
When I was young... I believed every word you said to me...
When my heart was still free... When I was young

I hurt so deep inside, I know that you did too...
It seems so crazy now, 'cause it was just a point of view.
When I was young...

After all the times we've had I know it's not enough,
I tried to say I'm sorry, but my pride ruled over love.
And somehow I feel like I'm drowning,
But there's still a helping hand,
I never really know just how you understand...
Ooh mama, when I was young...
When I was young...
