In the days of my youth I was told what it means to be a man And now I've reached that age I've tried to do all those things the best I can No matter how I try I find my way to the same old jam Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share When my woman left home for a brown-eyed man but 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 '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, oh Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share When my woman left home for a brown-eyed man but 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 but 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 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 never gonna part I feel good when I look into your eyes.

You ask me where I'd go tonight I'd go back to today last year We knew how to make each other happy And there was hope of everything It's hard enough to feel the world as it is And hold on anything Without these quiet times You've bought round here I'm gonna to have to run away I'm sure that I belong some other place I've seen another side of all I've seen It keeps me wondering where my family is It's hard enough to see the world as it is And hold on anything Without these quiet times Coming round here Now I miss you And I want you But I can't have you Even when you're here I suppose I have to take you with me broken mind I'd rather leave you here So forget everything you've seen and known Erase every idea If you walk up in the street And hold my hand and smile Well I won't be taken in Cos I know how it turns out And it takes me back To these quiet times Coming round here Now I miss you And I want you You're not coming back And I need you But I can't have you Even when you're here Now I miss you And I want you You're not coming back And I need you But I can't have you Even when you're here

Anyway, yeah Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane Ain't got time to take a fast train Lonely days are gone, I'ma goin' home 'Cause my baby just wrote me a letter Oh, 'cause my baby just wrote me a letter

Your welcome mat just smiles To all your new found friends But I, I got no invitation to your party The shadows hide my tears And it's cold, it's cold out here I'm lost, lost in the darkness of the night Please let me in the door You closed to me Laughter from a guarded room caught steeling Oh, so cold and lonely out here I'm so lonely for you The door you closed to me Stands like a prison gate Won't you search for mercy Please look for a little mercy Down in your heart Please let me in the door You closed to me Please let me in the door You closed to me Won't you please let me in the door Yeah e yeah, you closed to me
