Look-ing back on when I
Was a lit-tle nap-py head-ed boy
Then my on-ly wor-ry
Was for Christ-mas what would be my toy
Ev-en though we some-times
Would not get a thing
We were hap-py with the
Joy the day would bring
Sneak-ing out the back door
To hang out with those
Hood-lum friends of mine
Oooh.
Greet-ed at the back door
With boy I thought I told you
not to go out-side,
Try'n the best to bring the
Wat-er to your eyes
Think-in it might stop her
From woop-in your be-hind
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
Cause I loved them so
Broth-er says he's tell-in'
'bout you play-in doc-tor with that girl
Just don't tell I'll give you
An-y-thing you want
in this whole wide world
Ma-ma gives you mon-ey for Sun-day school
You trade yours for can-dy
Af-ter church is through
Smok-in' cig-a-rettes and writ-ing
Some-thing nas-ty on the wall
(you nas-ty boy)
Teach-er sends you to the prin-ci-pal's
Of-fice down the hall
You grow up and learn that
Kind-a thing ain't right
But while you were doin' it
it sure felt out-ta sight
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
Cause I loved them so
