Tekst piosenki
Looking back on when I was a little nappyheaded boy
then my only worry was for Christmas what would be my toy.
Even though we sometimes would not get a thing
we were happy with the joy the day would bring.
Sneakin' out the back door to hangout
with those hoodlum friends of mine.
Ooh
greeted at the back door with
Boy, I thought I told you not to go outside.
Tryin' the best to bring the water to your eyes
thinkin' it might stop her from whoopin' your behind.
I wish these days could come back once more.
Why did those days ever have to go?
I wish those days could come back once more.
Why did those days ever have to go
'cause I loved them so.
Do do do do do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do do do do do.
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.
mama gives you money for Sunday school
You trade yours for candy after church is through.
Smokin' cigarettes and writing something
nasty on the wall (you nasty boy).
Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the hall.
You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
But while you were doin't it - it sure felt outta sight.
I wish those days could come back once more.
Why did those days ever have to go?
I wish those days could come back once more.
Why did those days ever have to go?
'Cause I loved them so.
