How many times

Can you take it on the chin

I slept through your last goodbye

And your mind was set on him

But I don't care where you've been

Anymore.

In my formative years

My memory was preserved

In alcohol and dancing

You know when I was handsome

Thinking I was happy

Using every tactic

To get you on your back

Throw you in the sack

Now I want you back

I want to be back in my formative years

In my formative years.

Somewhere in the world

You are waiting to be found

Like the first that time we met

In the doorway of the underground

And the world kept spinning around

Anyway.

In my formative years

My memory was preserved

In alcohol and dancing

You know when I was handsome

Thinking I was happy

Using every tactic

To get you on your back

Throw you in the sack

Now I want you back

I want to be back in my formative years

In my formative years.

In my formative years

My memory was preserved

In alcohol and dancing

You know when I was handsome

Thinking I was happy

Using every tactic

To get you on your back

Throw you in the sack

Now I want you back

I want to be back in my formative years

In my formative years

In my formative years.
