Lookin' back on when I was a little
nappy headed boy
Then my only worry was for Christmas
what would be my toy
Even though we s ometimes wo uld not get a thing
We were happy w ith the jo y the day would bring
Sneaking out the back door to hang out with those
hoodlum friends of mine
Greeted at the back door with, 'Boy, thought I told you
not to go outside!'
Tryin' your best to b ring the wa ter to your eyes
Thinkin' it might s top her from wo opin' your behind
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days e -ver have to go?
I wish those days could, come back once more
Why did those days e -ver have to go?
'Cause I love them so
Brother says he's tellin' 'bout you playin'
doctor with that girl
Just don't tell, an' I'll give you anythin' you
want in this whole wide world
Mama gives you m oney for Su nday school
You trade yours for c andy, af ter church is through
Smokin' cigarettes, writing something
nasty on the wall (You nasty boy!)
Teacher sends you to the principal's
office down the hall
You grow up and l earn that ki nda thing ain't right
But while you were d oin' it it su re felt outta sight
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days e -ver have to go?
I wish those days could, come back once more
Why did those days e -ver have to go?
