Lyrics

0:19Looking back on when I was a little nappy-headed boy
0:25Mmm yeah ooh
0:28Then my only worry was for Christmas what would be my toy aye
0:37Even though we sometimes would not get a thing
0:42We were happy with the joy the day would bring
0:46Sneaking out the back door to hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
0:56Greeted at the back door with
0:58"Boy I thought I told you not to go outside"
1:02Oh oh-oh mm-mmm yeah
1:05Tryin' your best to bring the water to your eyes
1:09Thinkin' it might stop her from whippin' your behind
1:14I wish those days could come back once more
1:18Why did those days ever have to go?
1:23I wish those days could come back once more
1:27Why did those days ever have to go?
1:32'Cause I love them so
1:34Do-do do-do do-do do-do-do-do-do-do
1:38Do-do do-do do-do-do do-do-do
1:42Brother says he's tellin' 'bout you playin' doctor with that girl
1:49Yeah yeah
1:52Just don't tell
1:52And I'll give you anything you want in this whole wide world hey
2:01Mama gives you money for Sunday school
2:05You trade yours for candy after church is through
2:10Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall
2:16You nasty boy
2:19Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the hall
2:26Yeah yeah
2:29You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
2:33But while you were doing it it sure felt outta sight
2:38I wish those days could come back once more
2:42Why did those days ever have to go?
2:47I wish those days could come back once more
2:51Why did those days ever have to go?
2:56'Cause I love them so
3:01Oh-oh mmm oh
3:05I wish those days could come back once more
3:10I wish those days
3:12Days ever have to go
3:15I wish those days could come back once more
3:19Why did those days ever have to go?
Looking back on when I was a little nappy-headed boy
Mmm yeah ooh
Then my only worry was for Christmas what would be my toy aye
Even though we sometimes would not get a thing
We were happy with the joy the day would bring
Sneaking out the back door to hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
Greeted at the back door with
"Boy I thought I told you not to go outside"
Oh oh-oh mm-mmm yeah
Tryin' your best to bring the water to your eyes
Thinkin' it might stop her from whippin' your behind
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 love them so
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

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 love them so
Oh-oh mmm oh
I wish those days could come back once more
I wish those days
Days ever have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go?
