In the days of my youth
I was told what it means to be a man
Now I've reached that age
I'm trying to do all those things the best I can
No matter how I try
I find my way to the same old jam
Good times, bad times
You know I've had my share
My woman left home for another man
But I still don't seem to care
Sweet 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 to the end
But when I whispered in her ear
I lost another friend
Good times, bad times
You know I've had my share
My woman left home for another man
But I still don't seem to care
Good times, bad times
You know I've had my share
My woman left home for another 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 neighbours say
I'm gonna love you each and every day
You can feel the beat within my heart
Realize sweet babe
We ain't never gonna be apart
