When You’re Young lyrics
This song is about the social expectation that young people should "settle down" by getting a job, a mortgage, and starting a family, even when they are not ready or do not want to. It cautions against blaming the world and others for one's hardships and heartbreak, and encourages taking responsibility for one's own life.

You can leave
Or you can stay
But no one likes the one that got awayDon't dare to dream
Don't pretend
If you think you're someone special
Think againEverybody's getting married
Get divorced, 'cause they ain't happy
Now the kids just see their daddy on the weekendsBuy a house and get a mortgage
Sell it when you can't afford it
It goes round and round and round
You just repeat itThey say, hey
Get a job and settle down
Common girl you had your fun
Hey
Get a daughter and a son
That's just what you do here
When you're youngYou fall in love
You think the first one is the one, so you hold onAnd when you're old
You want more
And you'll regret all of the things you didn't do beforeEverybody's found their meaning
That's the reason they don't see
How it goes round and round and round
You just repeat itThey say, hey
Get a job and settle down
Common girl you had your fun
Hey
Get a daughter and a son
That's just what you do here
When you're youngBlame the world and everybody else
For every heartbreak
Hate it when somebody's doing wellAnd all they say is hey
Get a job and settle down
Common girl you had your fun
Hey
Get a daughter and a son
That's just what you do here
When you're young
