Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Do-do, do-do, do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do, do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
[Verse 3]
Brother says he's tellin' 'bout you playin' doctor with that girl
Yeah, yeah
Just don't tell and I'll give you anything you want in this whole wide world, hey
Mama gives you money for Sunday school
You trade yours for candy after church is through
[Verse 4]
Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall
You nasty boy
Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the hall
Yeah, yeah
You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
But while you were doing it, it sure felt outta sight
[Chorus]
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
Oh-oh, mmm, oh
[Outro]
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?
