Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I was only six years old I was kicked around at school I used to close my eyes and try to hide But when I finally told my dad He said "kids can be so cruel They don't really care what lies inside" [Pre-Chrous] I'm gonna wait a while Have some fun Take my time Not in a rush to make you mine oh mine But when it happens baby you can take me anywhere The sky could fall on us and I won't care [Chorus] Because we're young, free and happy No need to be down, troubled or sad Cause when you're young, free and happy You know it's the best thing that you'll ever have [Verse 2] I was only sweet 15 when my mumma told me a story 'Bout 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 [Pre-Chrous] I'm gonna wait a while Have some fun Take my time Not in a rush to make you mine oh mine But when it happens baby you can take me anywhere The sky could fall on us and I won't care [Chorus] Because we're young, free and happy No need to be down, troubled or sad Cause when you're young, free and happy You know it's the best thing that you'll ever have [Bridge] It was 1999 when a stranger said to me You wanna come with me and dance and sing? (Yeah) 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, this moment is not goodbye What did they say? And they told me we're definitely by your side What did they say? What did they say? What did they say? [Chorus] Cause when your young, free and happy No need to be down, troubled or sad Cause when you're young, free and happy You know it's the best thing that you'll ever have Because we're young, free and happy No need to be down, troubled or sad Cause when you're young, free and happy You know it's the best thing that you'll ever have Because we're young, free and happy No need to be down, troubled or sad Cause when you're young, free and happy You know it's the best thing that you'll ever have Because we're young, free and happy...
