| [00:09.86] | babyface--simple days |
| [00:23.77] | i was born on the northside of a midwestern town |
| [00:29.44] | there was nine of us living in a three bedroom house |
| [00:34.90] | didn't have much money, but we made do |
| [00:40.58] | 'cause momma worked all day long |
| [00:43.76] | and daddy did too |
| [00:46.93] | did all they could |
| [00:48.57] | made sure we had clothes and food |
| [00:51.47] | went to public schools and we followed public rules |
| [00:57.83] | we used second hand books |
| [01:00.18] | but oh i didn't mind the books |
| [01:02.76] | momma taught us early in life |
| [01:06.89] | everybody's gotta struggle sometime |
| [01:07.69] | bring back those simple times of yesterday |
| [01:13.23] | when a man was a man |
| [01:15.77] | and a friend was a friend |
| [01:17.29] | |
| [01:22.09] | bring back those simple times of yesterday |
| [01:26.21] | |
| [01:27.35] | when you said what you meant |
| [01:28.53] | and you meant what you said |
| [01:31.64] | |
| [01:32.49] | had a friend named bobby |
| [01:34.84] | who always kept his word |
| [01:37.85] | we went through schoolyard fights |
| [01:40.67] | had a thing for pretty girls |
| [01:44.00] | didn't cost much money |
| [01:46.34] | to see the picture show |
| [01:48.96] | so we hopped the bus into town |
| [01:51.97] | that's where all the girlies used to go |
| [01:54.85] | |
| [01:55.67] | fifty cents would buy us popcorn for two |
| [02:01.67] | 'cause booby's girl she worked there |
| [02:03.54] | and sometimes she'd break the rules |
| [02:06.58] | |
| [02:07.21] | picnics in the summer |
| [02:08.71] | wouldn't wake up 'till noon |
| [02:12.03] | and even though bobby's gone now |
| [02:15.23] | i can still hear him laugh |
| [02:17.79] | in the middle of june |
| [02:18.96] | sometimes i sit, i wonder |
| [02:35.46] | i reminisce |
| [02:35.96] | i think of all the good times |
| [02:37.31] | that we had in our lives |
| [02:38.86] | |
| [02:42.56] | sometimes i can't get over |
| [02:44.60] | how wonderful those days were |
| [02:49.11] | back in our lies |
