| In the days of my youth
|
| I was told what it was to be a man,
|
| Now I’ve reached the age
|
| I’ve tried to do all those things the best I can.
|
| No matter how I try,
|
| I find my way to do the same old jam.
|
| Good Times, Bad Times,
|
| You know I had my share
|
| When my woman left home
|
| With a brown eyed man,
|
| Well, I still don’t seem to care.
|
| Sixteen: I fell in love
|
| With a girl as sweet as could be,
|
| Only took a couple of days
|
| Till she was rid of me.
|
| She swore that she would be all mine
|
| And love me till the end,
|
| When I whispered in her ear
|
| I lost another friend.
|
| Good Times, Bad Times,
|
| You know I had my share
|
| When my woman left home
|
| With a brown eyed man,
|
| Well, I still don’t seem to care.
|
| I know what it means to be alone,
|
| I sure do wish I was at home.
|
| I don’t care what the neighbors say,
|
| I’m gonna love you each and every day.
|
| You can feel the beat within my heart.
|
| Realize, sweet babe, we aint’t ever gonna part. |
