When you are eighteen
You're a man who is ready
Who is strong and is steady
You know what I mean?
When you are eighteen
Then you should be respected
And you don't need protected
When you are eighteen
When you are eighteen
You are braver and bolder
Than that crowd who are older
You know what I mean?
'Cos when you are eightenn
With all those years to prepare you
There's nothing can scare you
When you are eighteen
I'm ready to travel
To follow my star
To the places I've been dreaming of
I'm ready for living;
I'm ready for life
And I know that I'm ready for love...
When you are eightenn
With the world all around you
It can sometimes astound you
You know what I mean?
Just how little they know, ha!
All those cowboys and chancers
I've got more of the answers...
And I'm only eighteen
