Lyrics Babyface – Simple Days

I was born on the north side of a Midwestern town
There were nine of us living in a three bedroom house
Didn’t have much money
But we made due

Bring back those simple times of yesterday
When a man was a man
And a friend was a friend
Bring back those simple times of yesterday
When you said what you meant
And you meant what you said

Had a friend named Bobby
Who always kept his word
We went through schoolyard fights
Had a thing for pretty girls
Didn’t cost much money to
See the picture show
So we hopped the bus into town
That’s where all the girlies used to go
Fifty cents would buy us popcorn for two
‘Cause Bobby’s girl, she worked there

HOOK

Sometimes I sit, I wonder
I reminisce, I think of all the good times
That we had in our lives
Sometimes I can’t get over
How wonderful those days were
Back in our lives
Simple days for simple times
