Back in my younger days I used to go all night long Now I just stay at home and everything is all right Back when I first met you I used to live in a haze But that was so long ago back in my younger days I would do anything just to stumble and fool It's a wonder I'm standing here I've broken so many rules Now I dance with you every night and still I'm amazed Your love made a man of me back in my younger days Oh it doesn't seem that long ago You you make it feel like the first time we made love And I ain't even gettin' enough well well well As I go through the photographs I laugh and turn the page It's the ballad of me and you from such an innocent age Talk about a dream come true we reinvented the phrase It's better than it used to be back in my younger days Back in my younger days back in my younger days It's better than it used to be back in my younger days
