I always wonder if I'll figure it out By the time I have decided To give it up And then I'm thinking that They'll play my song In a local bar after I have given up And I've settled down With a new love And I'll turn to my lover And I'll say "this song they're playing, this one's mine" And I wrote it when I was nineteen When I had friends and I had lovers And people who I thought that I Would have in my life 'Til I was old and I was bitter and I was blue But that wasn't true I'm giving up on love Giving up on trying Giving up trying to find Find the people that they want me to talk to Because they say they understand But they don't understand And I don't want to be an old man I always wonder if I'll figure life out When I'm twenty-five And my dreams have died And that's all because Something didn't feel right And then I'm thinking that I'll figure it all out In a job that I hate With a song that I love But that seems unjust So I'll turn to my mother And I'll say "This life I'm living, this one's mine" And I'll turn To my brother and my sister And my nephew and niece Now that we're all alone I don't want to be thirty-five With no more love in my life When I have given up 'Cause I am giving up Giving up on love Giving up on trying Giving up trying to find Find the people that they Want me to talk to Because they say they understand But they don't understand And I don't want to be an old man I don't want to be an old man He never got to be an old man I don't want to be an old man I'm giving up I'm giving up I'm giving up
