I was never young, even as a child.

Said, I was never young; I've always felt beguiled.

Oh, I just never smiled, but you have a glow, a glow from

an inner sense I'll never know.

'Cause I was never young, even as a boy.

No, I was never young; kindness seemed no ploy to temper

or annoy.

But you, you have a mind full of wonderment I'll never

find 'cause I was never young.

I was never young

Ever since I was a kid, I've been a brooding basket case.

Ever since I was a kid, I've been a brooding basket case.

Ever since I was a kid, I've been a brooding basket case.
