When I was twenty, oh, and you were seventeen
So much has flown between the years
So out of choice I chose rock and roll
I guess I cannot have everything
So much has flown between the years
So much has flown between the years
From there on, there seemed no use for you for you to stay
But it pushed me to the limit everyday
But it pushed me to the limit everyday
Who seems to be so close to you instead, close to you instead?
So much has flown between the years
Oh in the times I went astray, the times I went astray
I'm blue tonight, I'm red when I'm mad
When I was twenty, oh, and you were seventeen
I'm green when I'm jealous, yellow when I'm sad
It turned me into a gypsy, kept me away from home
I'm green when I'm jealous, yellow when I'm sad
So much has flown between the years
When I was twenty, ooh, and you were seventeen
The trace of a love unwanted
When I was twenty, oh, and you were seventeen
It turned me into a gypsy, kept me away from home
Could it be a close friend I knew so well
From there on, there seemed no use for you, for you to stay
I'm blue tonight, I'm red when I'm mad
I guess I cannot have everything
So out of choice I chose rock and roll
And if I shower around 3 a.m., it's just to wash away
