In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man Now I've reached that age, I've tried to do all those things the best I can No matter how I try to find my way to the same old jam Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share Well, my woman left home on that night and I still don't seem to care Sixteen, I fell in love with a girl as sweet as can be It 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 But when I whispered in her ear, I lost another friend Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share Well, my woman left home on that night and I still don't seem to care Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share Well, my woman left home on that night and 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 know what the name is I'm gonna love you You know I know You can feel the beat within my heart We ain't sleeping, we ain't never gonna part
