I live my life, one after the other
Can't seen to shake trouble
Follows me wherever I go

My mama told me I was always in a hurry
You'd better slow down or you'll lose control
I've loved and lost for the moment
It never lasted long enough
You come to me when something gets broken
But I won't let it get me down

Blame it on my youth
Put it to the circumstances
Blame it on my youth
I can't be judged for my actions
I'm an accident waiting to happen
Blame it on my youth

Someday I might stop being a child
But for now it looks as though
I'm having too much fun
You're as young as you feel
From the inside
Inside and out you're always on the run

Angels with dirty faces
A little lost but not innocent
Time steals people and places
But I won't let it get me down

Blame it on my youth
Put it to the circumstances
Blame it on my youth
I can't be judged for my actions
I'm an accident waiting to happen
Blame it on my youth
