How ’Bout It - Intellectual

[Chorus 1]

How 'bout being young and how 'bout being old

How 'bout wantin' somethin' warm just to hold you when you're cold

How 'bout take me in your arms tonight and feel the way I fold

Choosing teams to play the game

But as fate would have it, they forgot my name

So now I'm barefoot on the blacktop but it smells like it might rain

Tell me, friend, have you ever felt this way?

Upon the hour the clock'll chime

Yeah you can hear her laughing all the time

But it ain't really funny, she can't help the things she knows

She's tired of telling all the same old jokes

So how 'bout being young and how 'bout being old

How 'bout wantin' somethin' warm just to hold you when you're cold

How 'bout take me in your arms tonight and feel the way I fold

So I made a wish, it's just for you

I went outside and I found you the moon

But you dropped it in your pocket, you foolish little boy

Don't you know it wasn't like those other coins?

So how 'bout being young and how 'bout being old

How 'bout wantin' somethin' warm just to hold you when you're cold

How 'bout calling someone's name and hearing nothing in return

How 'bout reaching for the iron just to feel it burn

How 'bout forgetting all the things you learn despite what you've been told

How 'bout take me in your arms tonight and feel the way I fold

How 'bout being young and how 'bout being old

So how 'bout this, I've got the blues

Got this feeling in my bones I can't refuse

There's lots of wanting in this world that someone's gotta do

Tonight I guess I like the looks of you

How 'bout being young and how 'bout being old

How 'bout wantin' somethin' warm just to hold you when you're cold

How 'bout take me in your arms tonight and feel the way I fold

How 'bout being young and how 'bout being old
