You're Young and You'll Forget Songtext

von Scott Walker

I know that it will make you cry
To find that I have gone
Didn't even say goodbye
Ya hate me for a while
Because I promised love
And left you just for bread

But I know that I could never be
The kind of a man that you
Have in your mind of me
For your sake we must part
And it will break your heart

But you're young and you'll forget

You're young, and I know time will help you find
The perfect man to really love you
And not a man like me who's like the wind and must be free
But a man who's worthy of you

For I could never settle down
Just one way of life
One woman and one time
So sad to part this way
But you'll be glad one day

'Cause you're young and you'll forget

And not a man like me who's like the wind and must be free
But a man who's worthy of you

For I could never settle down
To just one way of life
One woman and one time
So sad to part this way
But you'll be glad one day

'Cause you're young and you'll forget
