BABYFACE lyrics : "Simple Days"

I was born on the north side of a Midwestern town
There were nine of us living in a three bedroom house
Didn't have much money

But we made due
'Cause Momma worked all day long
And Daddy did too

Did all they could
Made sure we had clothes and food
Went to public schools and we

Followed public rules
We used second hand books, but oh
I didn't mind the books

Momma taught us early in life
Everybody's gotta struggle sometime


Bring back those simple times of yesterday
When a man was a man
And a friend was a friend

Bring back those simple times of yesterday
When you said what you meant
And you meant what you said


Had a friend named Bobby
Who always kept his word

We went through schoolyard fights
Had a thing for pretty girls
Didn't cost much money to

See the picture show
So we hopped the bus into town
That's where all the girlies used to go

Fifty cents would buy us popcorn for two
'Cause Bobby's girl, she worked there
And sometimes she'd break the rules

Picnics in the summer
Wouldn't wake up 'till noon
And even though Bobby's gone now

I can still hear him laugh
In the middle of June


[HOOK]

Sometimes I sit, I wonder

I reminisce, I think of all the good times
That we had in our lives
Sometimes I can't get over

How wonderful those days were
Back in our lives
Simple days for simple times


[HOOK]
