Lookin back on when I
was a little nappy headed boy
then my only worry
was for christmas what wat would be my toy

Even though we somethimes
would not get a thing
we were happy with the
joy the day would bring

Sneakin out the back door
to hang out thoses hoodlum friends of mine,ooh
greeted at the back door
with "Boy, thought i told you not to go outside"

Tryin your best to bring the
water to your eyes
thinkin it might stop her
from whippin your behind

Chorus:
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
cos i love them so

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 writin' something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy)
teacher sends you to the
principal's office down the hall

You grow up and learnt that
kinda thing aint right
but while you were doin' it
it sure felt outta sight

Chorus
