Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I think I'm goin' back
To the things I learned so well in my youth
I think I'm returning to
Those days when I was young enough
To know the truth
[Verse 2]
Now there are no games
To only pass the time
No more coloring books
No Christmas bells to chime
[Verse 3]
But thinking young
And growing older
Is no sin
And I can play
The game of life to win
[Verse 4]
I can recall the time
When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend
And now I think I've got
A lot more than a skipping rope to lend
[Verse 5]
Now there's more to do
Than watch my sailboat glide
And everyday can be
My magic carpet ride
And I can play hide and seek with my fears
And live my days instead of counting my years
[Verse 6]
Let everyone debate the true reality
I'd rather see the world the way it used to be
A little bit of freedom's all we lack
So catch me if you can, I'm going back
Written by: Carole King, Gerry Goffin
