Looking back on when I was a little nappyheaded boy
then my only worry was for Christmas what would be my toy.
Even though we sometimes would not get a thing
we were happy with the joy the day would bring.
Sneakin' out the back door to hangout
with those hoodlum friends of mine.
Ooh
greeted at the back door with
Boy, I thought I told you not to go outside.
Tryin' the best to bring the water to your eyes
thinkin' it might stop her from whoopin' your behind.
I wish these 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
'cause I loved them so.
Do do do do do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do do do do do.
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 writing something
nasty on the wall (you nasty boy).
Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the hall.
You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
But while you were doin't it - it sure felt outta sight.
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?
'Cause I loved them so.I don't wanna see your face
I don't wanna hear your name
I don't wanna thing
Just stay away baby
Don't wanna know if you're alright
Or what you're doin' with your life
Don't wanna hear that you'll stay in touch maybe
I'll get just fine
So if you're goin' then darlin' goodbye, goodbye
Don't call me in the middle of the night no more
Don't expect me to be there
Don't think that it will be the way it was before
I'm not over you yet
And I don't think I care
And I don't want to be your friend
I'll forget we ever met
I'll forget I ever let
Ever let you into this heart of mine baby
You just gotta let me be
You gotta keep away from me
'Cause all I want to be is just free of you baby
Don't you come around
And say you still care about me
Go now, go now
Don't call me in the middle of the night...
You take it casually, and that's what's killing me
I'll get by just fine
So if you're goin' then darlin' goodbye, goodbye
Don't call me in the middle of the night no more
Don't expect me to be there
Don't think that it will be the way it was before
No, no baby
Don't call me in the middle of the night no more
I don't want to be your friend
Don't think that it will be the way it was before
I don't want to be your friend...
