Young Dumb & Broke Lyrics
So you're still thinking of me
Just like I know you should
I can not give you everything, you know I wish I could
I'm so high at the moment
I'm so caught up in this
Yeah, we're just young, dumb and broke
But we still got love to give
[Chorus]
While we're young dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
Yadadadadadadada
Yadadadadadada
Yadadadadadadada
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
[Verse 2]
We have so much in common
We argue all the time
You always say I'm wrong
I'm pretty sure I'm right
What's fun about commitment?
When we have our life to live
Yeah, we're just young dumb and broke
But we still got love to give
While we're young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
Yadadadadadadada
Yadadadadadada
Yadadadadadadada
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
[Bridge]
Jump and we think, "Leave it all in the game of love, love"
Run into sin, do it all in the name of fun, fun
Woah-oa-oa
I'm so high at the moment
I'm so caught up in this
Yeah, we're just young, dumb and broke
But we still got love to give
[Chorus]
While we're young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
Yadadadadadadada
Yadadadadadada
Yadadadadadadada
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
Yadadadadadadada
Yadadadadadada
Yadadadadadadada
Young dumb broke high school kids

We created the beat from scratch, me and Joel Little. I just wanted something not necessarily positive, but super upbeat. Hearing the chords, “I was like this sounds anthemic.“ And I was like, “You know what. I’m young, I’m dumb, and I’m broke. I’ve been young, I’ve been dumb, and I’ve been broke.” That’s pretty much where the basis of the song came from. I feel like the whole project is all about me being honest. And I felt like, you can’t get more honest than calling yourself young, dumb, and broke.
Hey, I mean, we all can be broke with something. Maybe I’m not rich enough in a different type of sense. Maybe I’m still broke.
Yes, Khalid performed this song at a live acoustic session in Germany.
