Well in my life I've never stopped to worry bout a thing
Open up and shout it out and never tried to sing
Wondering "Have I done wrong?"
Will this depression last long?

(chorus)
Won't you tell me?
Where have all the goodtimes gone?
Where have all the goodtimes gone?(yeah)

Well once we had an easy ride and always felt the same
Time was on my side and I had everything to gain
Let it be like yesterday
Please let me have happy days

(chorus)

Ma and Pa look back on all the things they used to do
Didn't have no money and they always told the truth
Daddy didn't have no toys
Or Mommy didn't need no boys

(chorus)

Well yesterday was such an easy game for you to play
But let's face it, things are so much easier today
Guess you need some bringing down,
And get your feet back on the ground

(chorus)
