Lyrics
A child in a curious phase
A man with sullen ways
Oh, I know very well how I got my name
You think you were my first love
You think you were my first love but you're wrong
You were the only one who's come and gone
When thirteen years old
Who dyed his hair gold?
Oh, I know very well, I don't need to be told
You think you were my first love
You think you were my first love but you're wrong
You were the only one who's come and gone
You were the only one who's come and gone
