When I was younger
My dad he gave to me
An old Sony Walkman
I played Please Please Me
Until the tape was worn out
From every night in bed
I still got trouble to work out
Inside this tired head
Those melodies make me what I am today
I might not be much but at least I can say
Everybody wanna talk
I just wanna Walkman
Gotta go for a walk man
Gotta get a little peace
I don't wanna start a war
But I don't wanna get bored man
Everybody trying to take
My Walkman away from me
Yeah now I'm much older
From our folks we moved away
Wish we could begin to talk about
What we can't bare to say
And that old Sony Walkman
Is in the loft gathering dust
And these damn things we play our tunes on
Really now they're playing us
And those melodies make me what I am today
I might not be much but at least I can say
Everybody wanna talk
I just wanna Walk man
Gotta go for a walk man
Gotta get a little peace
Cos I don't wanna start a war
But I don't wanna get bored man
Everybody trying to take My Walkman away from me
I miss the buttons and the sound
The sound they make
And everywhere around me looks so cheap skate
An explosion, nothing discovered
But its handed to us on a plate
Everybody wanna talk
I just wanna Walkman
Gotta go for a walk man
Gotta get a little peace
Cos I don't wanna start a war
But I don't wanna get bored man
Ain't nobody gonna take
My Walkman away from me
Ain't nobody gonna take
My Walkman away from me
