Good Times Bad Times

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
