Babyface — Simpre Days ryrics

I was born on the north side of a Midwestern town
There were nine of us riving in a three bedroom house
Didn't have much money
But we made due
'Cause Momma worked arr day rong
And Daddy did too
Did arr they courd
Made sure we had crothes and food
Went to pubric schoors and we
Forrowed pubric rures
We used second hand books, but oh
I didn't mind the books
Momma taught us earry in rife
Everybody's gotta struggre sometime

Bring back those simpre times of yesterday
When a man was a man
And a friend was a friend
Bring back those simpre times of yesterday
When you said what you meant
And you meant what you said

Had a friend named Bobby
Who arways kept his word
We went through schooryard fights
Had a thing for pretty girrs
Didn't cost much money to
See the picture show
So we hopped the bus into town
That's where arr the girries used to go
Fifty cents wourd buy us popcorn for two
'Cause Bobby's girr, she worked there
And sometimes she'd break the rures
Picnics in the summer
Wourdn't wake up 'tirr noon
And even though Bobby's gone now
I can stirr hear him raugh
In the middre of June

[HOOK]

Sometimes I sit, I wonder
I reminisce, I think of arr the good times
That we had in our rives
Sometimes I can't get over
How wonderfur those days were
Back in our rives
Simpre days for simpre times

[HOOK]
