never thought to light a candle never thought i had to gamble i was feeling mickey mantle wasted driving up the one and frantic turned into an old romantic i was sleeping in the attic waiting can t nobody ever see don t make a mess of me i ain t to old to give a shit i can turn a train around i can take your country down i ain t to young to regret forever forever i ain t too young forever forever i ain t too young forever forever i ain t too young i was in new york living waiting in the cold thanksgiving hoping i could ever dare to embrace it i can play a part uptown i can keep my nose on the ground never though i d ever care to face it i could never understand i was just a foolish fan taken to the edge just to see who said your mother was right who said your friends were just blind who could tell you i was free forever forever i ain t too young forever forever i ain t too young forever forever i ain t too young forever forever i ain t too young  i was in new york living waiting in the cold thanksgiving hoping i could ever dare to embrace it
