Songtext:
In the days of my youth
I was told what it means to be a man
Now I've reached the age
I've tried to do all those things the best I can
No matter how I try
I find my way into the same old jam
*Good Times Bad Times
You know I had my share;
When my woman left home
For a brown eyed man
Well I still don't seem to care
Sixteen: I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as could be
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, oooh
* Chorus
I know what it means to be alone,
I sure do wish I was at home
I don't care what the neighbors say,
I'm gonna love you each and every day
You can feel the beat within my heart
Realize, sweet babe, we ain't ever gonna part
I was told what it means to be a man
Now I've reached the age
I've tried to do all those things the best I can
No matter how I try
I find my way into the same old jam
*Good Times Bad Times
You know I had my share;
When my woman left home
For a brown eyed man
Well I still don't seem to care
Sixteen: I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as could be
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, oooh
* Chorus
I know what it means to be alone,
I sure do wish I was at home
I don't care what the neighbors say,
I'm gonna love you each and every day
You can feel the beat within my heart
Realize, sweet babe, we ain't ever gonna part
