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...?
