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 I find my way into the same old jam
Good Times, bad times, you know I've had my share Well, my woman left home for a brown-eyed man but I still don't seem to care
Sixteen, I fell in love with a girl as sweet as could 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, oh
Good Times, bad times, you know I've had my share Well, my woman left home for a brown-eyed man but I still don't seem to care
Good Times, bad times, you know I've had my share Well, my woman left home for a brown-eyed man but 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 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 feel good when I look at you mama
