When I was only six years old
I was picked around at school
I used to close my eyes and tried to hide
When I finally told my dad
He said it's gonna be so cool
They don't really care what lies inside

I've gotta rule the wild
Last upon time to time
I only wish to make you mine al night
But when it happens baby you can take me anywhere
It's gonna follow us and I don't care

Because we're young, free and happy
No need to be down, troubled or sad
Cause when you're young, free and happy
You know it's the best thing that you'll ever have

I was only sweet fifteen
When my mummy told me a story, yeah
About the birds en bees and everything
You've got plenty of years to decide
So what I try you're not to ignore me
Wasn't only after just one thing

I've gotta rule the wild
Last upon time to time
I only wish to make you mine al night
But when it happens baby you can take me anywhere
It's gonna follow us and I don't care

Because we're young, free and happy
No need to be down, troubled or sad
Cause when you're young, free and happy
You know it's the best thing that you'll ever have

Hmmmm, hmmmmm
Hmmmm, hmmmmm

It was 1999
When a stranger said to me
D'you wanna come with me and dance and sing
When I asked my mum and dad
They said if that's what you want to be
I left home and I changed everything

What did she say?
And she told me you're gonna have little time
What did he say?
And he told me some nice things I could buy
What did they say?
And they told me we're definitely by your side
What did they say?
What did they say?
OOOOOOOOOOH

Cause when you're young, free and happy
No need to be down, troubled or sad
Cause when you're young, free and happy
You know it's the best thing that you'll ever have
