In the days of my youth |
|
I was told what it was to be a man, |
|
Now Ive reached the age |
|
Ive tried to do all those things the best I can. |
|
No matter how I try, |
|
I find my way to do the same old jam. |
|
good times, bad times, |
|
You know I had my share; |
|
When my woman left home |
|
With a brown eyed man, |
|
Well, I still dont seem to care. |
|
Sixteen: I fell in love |
|
With a girl as sweet as could be, |
|
Only took a couple of days |
|
Till she was rid of me. |
|
She swore that she would be all mine |
|
And love me till the end, |
|
When I whispered in her ear |
|
I lost another friend. |
|
I know what it means to be alone, |
|
I sure do wish I was at home. |
|
I dont care what the neighbors say, |
|
Im gonna love you each and every day. |
|
You can feel the beat within my heart. |
|
Realize, sweet babe, we aintt ever gonna part. |
