Back In The Day
I guess I grew up fast in Chi town
School out, clean up, homework, lights out
Momma was strict about them kids runnin' in and out
Street lights, meant you better be in that house
Oh, oh, oh, back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside, when it is light outside
Oh, oh, oh, back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Missing the funk of the night
They played some really good sounds
Cleaning up on Saturday
From Carmen to Charlie Bird to Aretha
We all sang
Those very sounds floating in and outta my head
Created the magic that sealed my fate
Oh, oh, oh, back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside (when it's light outside)
Oh, oh, oh, back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Missing the funk of the night (in good times)
Had to run away from home
Had to have my way
Just what I was running from
Don't know to this day
Can't say I have everything
I thought it would be
I got memories
Ooh, oh, back in the day with a good time
Oh, spending my life with a good time
Do you remember?
Spending my life with a good time, bebebe bebebebe
Ooh, when Auntie Cathy
Played them funky sounds
That's when I knew my true love I'd found (my real love)
Oh, oh, oh, back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside (when it's light outside)
Oh, oh, oh, back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Missing the funk of the night (yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh, oh, back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside (when it's light outside)
Oh, oh, oh, back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Missing the funk of the night
Oh, oh, oh, oh (back in the day)
Put me in the bed when it's light outside (when it's light outside)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, back in the day (back in the day)
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Missing the funk of the night
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Back in the day
Don't you wanna go back?
What if I...?
School out, clean up, homework, lights out
Momma was strict about them kids runnin' in and out
Street lights, meant you better be in that house
Oh, oh, oh, back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside, when it is light outside
Oh, oh, oh, back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Missing the funk of the night
They played some really good sounds
Cleaning up on Saturday
From Carmen to Charlie Bird to Aretha
We all sang
Those very sounds floating in and outta my head
Created the magic that sealed my fate
Oh, oh, oh, back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside (when it's light outside)
Oh, oh, oh, back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Missing the funk of the night (in good times)
Had to run away from home
Had to have my way
Just what I was running from
Don't know to this day
Can't say I have everything

Ooh, oh, back in the day with a good time
Oh, spending my life with a good time
Do you remember?
Spending my life with a good time, bebebe bebebebe

That's when I knew my true love I'd found (my real love)
Oh, oh, oh, back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside (when it's light outside)
Oh, oh, oh, back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Missing the funk of the night (yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh, oh, back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside (when it's light outside)
Oh, oh, oh, back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Missing the funk of the night
Oh, oh, oh, oh (back in the day)
Put me in the bed when it's light outside (when it's light outside)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, back in the day (back in the day)
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Missing the funk of the night
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Back in the day
Don't you wanna go back?
What if I...?
