| 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 |
