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, I thought I told you not to go outside”,
Trying your best to bring the water to your eyes
Thinking it might stop her from whooping 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 loved ’em so…
To doo to doo to doo doo etc..

Brother says he’s telling, about you playing 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

Smoking 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 kind of thing ain’t right
But while you were doing it, it sure felt outta sight

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 loved ’em so…
