Verse 1:
Looking back on when I,
Was a little,
Nappy headed boy.
Then my only worry,
Was for Christmas,
What would be my toy.
Bridge 1:
Even though we sometimes,
Would not get a thing;
We were happy with the,
Joy the day would bring.
Verse 2:
Sneaking out the back door,
To hang out with those hoodlum,
Friends of mine.
Greeted at the back door,
With; "boy I thought,
I told you not,
To go out-side?"
Bridge 2:
Tryin' your best to bring the;
Water to your eyes.
Thinkin' it might stop her,
From woopin' your be-hind.
Chorus 1:
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?
(n.c)
'Cos I love them so.
Break:
Do do do do,
Do do do do, do do do do.
Do do do do,
Do do do do, do do do do.
Verse 3:
Brother says he's tellin;
'Bout you playin',
Doctor with that girl.
Just don't tell;
I'll give you,
Anything you want,
In this whole wide world.
Bridge 3:
Mama gives you money,
For Sunday school,
You trade yours for candy,
After church is through.
Verse 4:
Smokin' ciga-rettes,
And writing something nasty,
On the wall.
(You nasty boy!)
Teacher sends you,
To the principal's,
Office down the hall.
Bridge 4:
You grow up and learn that,
Kinda thing ain't right.
But while you were doin' it;
It sure felt outta sight.
Chorus 3:
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?
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?
(n.c)
'Cos I love them so.
