New Mexico, new Diet Coke

New taxes on the same pack of smokes

New President, new presidence

New music ain't got no soul

New Hollywood, new generation

New drugs for a new sensation

American cars made overseas

New parking lots that used to be trees

I like the way it used to be

When we were in love so wild and free

Baby, come back

Come back, come back to me

New attitude, whoas me

Now every little girl needs therapy

New politics, new set of rules

Brand new problems from a new set of fools

New night clubs same old scene

Forty years olds tryin' to look eighteen

Two hundred thirty five beers on tap

I order a Bud, the bartender just laughs

I like the way it used to be

When we were in love so wild and free

Baby, come back

Come back, come back to me

Look what you've done

To this world so right

Just by telling

Me goodbye

I like the way it used to be

When we were in love so wild and free

I like the way it used to be

When we were in love so wild and free

Baby, come back

Come back to me

I like the way it used to be

When we were in love so wild and free

Baby, come back

Baby, come back to me

I like the way it used to be

I like the way it used to be

When we were in love so wild and free

Baby, come back to me

Baby, come back to me

Baby, come back to me

I like the way it used to be

Baby, come back to me
