In the days of my youth
I was told what it means to be a woman
And now I've reached that age
I've tried to do all those things the best that I can
No matter how I try
I find my way into the same old jam, oh
Good times, bad times
You know I've had my share
When my woman left home for a brown eyed man
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 'til she was rid of me
She swore that she would be all mine and love me 'til 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
When my woman left home for a brown eyed man
I still don't seem to care
Good times, bad times
You know I've had my share
When my woman left home for a brown eyed man
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 really 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 ever gonna part, oh
