I was never young, even as a child   Said I was never young   I've always felt beguiled      Oh, I just never smiled   But you have a glow   From an inner sense I'll never know      Because I was never young, even as a boy   No, I was never young   Kindness seemed no ploy to temper or annoy      But you, you have a mind   Full of wonderment I'll never find   Because I was never young      Ever since I was a kid   I've been a brooding basket case
