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
