Babyface - Simple Days Lyrics
Written by bradley spalter, emanuel officer, robbie nevil, babyface (1997)I was born on the north side of a midwestern townThere were nine of us living in a three bedroom houseDidnt have much moneyBut we made duecause momma worked all day longAnd daddy did tooDid all they couldMade sure we had clothes and foodWent to public schools and weFollowed public rulesWe used second hand books, but ohI didnt mind the booksMomma taught us early in lifeEverybodys gotta struggle sometimeBring back those simple times of yesterdayWhen a man was a manAnd a friend was a friendBring back those simple times of yesterdayWhen you said what you meantAnd you meant what you saidHad a friend named bobbyWho always kept his wordWe went through schoolyard fightsHad a thing for pretty girlsDidnt cost much money toSee the picture showSo we hopped the bus into townThats where all the girlies used to goFifty cents would buy us popcorn for twocause bobbys girl, she worked thereAnd sometimes shed break the rulesPicnics in the summerWouldnt wake up till noonAnd even though bobbys gone nowI can still hear him laughIn the middle of juneHookSometimes I sit, I wonderI reminisce, I think of all the good timesThat we had in our livesSometimes I cant get overHow wonderful those days wereBack in our livesSimple days for simple timesHook
