Fifteen

When you're only fifteen How can you know what hurt means? When I saw that look in your eyes, ran out into the cold night Stole a car just to sleep inside I realize when you're fifteen You surely know what love means And when that gets taken aside and replaced with nothing but fighting You'll know what hurt means alright I did not know where to go And then you showed up like a rainbow But I got much more than a pot of gold I got a mate for my soul, babe A mate for my soul We were only fifteen Trying to work out what it means To want someone by your side for the rest of your life And yet not over butterflies Before I met you at fifteen Back in nineteen-sixty I was always on the run, unsure of what to run from Or where I'd be when morning would come I did not know where to go Then you showed up like a rainbow But you brought me much more than a pot of gold I got a mate for my soul A mate for my soul A mate for my soul Baby, you were made for my soul
