[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Sneaking out the back door
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
Hanging all night, all night
Greeted at the back door
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
My brother says he's tellin'
About you playin' doctor with that girl
Just don't tell I'll give you
Anything you want in this wide world
Mama gives you money for Sunday school
You trade it for candy after church is through
[Verse 5]
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' it, you were doin' it
Felt out of sight
[Verse 6]
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
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go
I have to go
