There’ve been good times
There’ve been bad times
I have my share of hard times, too
But I lost my faith in the world
Honey, when I lost you
Remember the good times we’ve had together
Don’t you want them back again
Though these hard times are bugging me now
Honey, now it’s a sin
There’s gotta be trust in this world
Or it won’t get very far
Well, trust in someone
Or there’s gonna be war
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.
In the days of my youth
I was told what it was 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 to do the same old jam.
Good Times, Bad Times,
You know I had my share;
When my woman left home
With 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,
