When I Was Young Lyrics

When I was young I thought I'd grow old in your arms
When I was young I thought I'd be rich and famous
When I was young I thought everything was magic
And all I'd do was click my red shoes

Now I'm on the sidewalk
Begging for mercy
Just a token or two
Now I'm at your doorstep
Begging for your love

For just a moment or two

When I was young I had thousands of secrets
I'd whisper softly to the wind
When I was young I'd play Scrabble for hours
And sing Elvis in the dark

Now I'm on the sidewalk
Begging for mercy
Just a token or two
Now I'm at your doorstep
Begging for your love
For just a moment or two

What are we coming to
That I've got to beg you?
That I've got to beg you?
What's this world coming to
That I've got to beg you?
To beg you...
Ooh I've got to beg you...
Where's the love?
Where's the love?
Where's the love?
Where's the love?
