In the days of my youth
I was told what it means to be a man
But 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 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
Seventeen I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as could be
It only took a couple of days
Til she got rid of me
She swore that she would be all mine
Love me til the end
But when I whispered in her ear
I lost another friend
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
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
Seventeen I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as could be
It only took a couple of days
Til she got rid of me
She swore that she would be all mine
Love me til the end
But when I whispered in her ear
I lost another friend
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
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
You're gonna love me baby
Oh baby
