The Dirty Guv'nahs - Baby We Were Young lyrics

rate me

Young love, won’t you come and sit real close to me?

For the first time, I’ve got you by my side

Darling, don’t you know that you’ve got the shaky knees?

Gotta roll the windows down inside your mind

Chorus:

Love was the shape we made

Love was the breath we drew

Youth was in our blood

And baby we were young

Nineteen and twenty-three, with just four years between

We fell in love on a Tuesday in July

You’re daddy lives so far away, down in Memphis, Tennessee

There's a good chance, you’re gonna be my bride

That’s right

Chorus

Instrumental

Chorus

Bridge:

Love was a name we gave

But love is a shaky thing

You’re not the one to blame

Cause baby we were young

Baby we were young

Baby we were young

Baby we were young

(x4)
