Lyrics
0:18Looking back on when i
0:20Was a little nappy headed boy
0:27Then my only worry
0:29Was for christmas what would be my toy
0:36Even though we sometimes
0:38Would not get a thing
0:40We were happy with the
0:43Joy the day would bring
0:45Sneaking out the back door
0:47To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
0:54Greeted at the back door
0:56With "boy thought i told you not to go outside "
1:03Tryin' your best to bring the
1:05Water to your eyes
1:08Thinkin' it might stop her
1:10From woopin' your behind
1:12I wish those days could come back once more
1:16Why did those days ev-er have to go
1:21I wish those days could come back once more
1:25Why did those days ev-er have to go
1:30Cause i love them so
1:40Brother says he's tellin'
1:42'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl
1:49Just don't tell i'll give you
1:51Anything you want in this whole wide world
1:58Mama gives you money for sunday school
2:02You trade yours for candy after church is through
2:07Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy)
2:16Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the wall
2:25You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
2:30But while you were doin'it-it sure felt outta sight
2:34I wish those days could come back once more
2:38Why did those days ev-er have to go
2:42I wish those days could come back once more
2:47Why did those days ev-er have to go
Looking back on when i Was a little nappy headed 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 Sneaking out the back door To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine Greeted at the back door With "boy thought i told you not to go outside " Tryin' your best to bring the Water to your eyes Thinkin' it might stop her From woopin' your behind 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 love them so 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 wall You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right But while you were doin'it-it sure felt outta 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
