I was just a little young boy then, 1985
Mama had the radio bumpin'
and the clock was jumpin'
And my neighbors showed up
And the music was better,
And they bought leather skates
Even though crime was hot
Mama said, ride your bike,
We had home house parties,
they wouldn't fight nobody
Ooh, things were a little safer then, yeah
And I remember home time trippin',
Come 5 .30, good times was on TV
Yeah, I wish that I could take it back,
let's take it back one time
Let's go back in the day,
show love like back in the day, uh
there was 8 -track tapes, ooh
Let's go back in the day,
do snake funk back in the day, uh
Let's dance like back in the day,
make music like back in the day
sittin' watchin' Thundercats
Night court had the bassline bumpin'
That's when TV was better
And even though crime was hot
Used to churn on the fire plug,
House parties moved to block parties
they wouldn't fight nobody
Things were a little safer then, yeah
And I remember Jack Tripper,
Come 5 .30, good times, what's on TV?
Yeah, I wish that I could take it back.
Let's take it back one time.
Let's go back in the day,
show love like back in the day, uh -huh.
there was 8 -track tapes, ooh.
Let's go back in the day,
do snake funk back in the day, uh -huh.
Let's dance like back in the day,
make music like back in the day.
Remember when Santana used to play
Mayfield kept it real with
DMC linked with Aerosmith
Joe Perry blessed the beat
and what he brought to the game
One love the Coogee rap hurt Nas and Kane
then you know what I mean
Let's take it back one time,
take it back one time, okay
Show love life back in the day, uh
there was 8 -track tapes, ooh
Do snake funk back in the day, uh
Dance dance like back in the day
Make music like back in the day
Show love life back in the day, uh
it was 8 -track tapes, woo
Let's go back in the day,
gooseneck funk back in the day,
Dance dance like back in the day,
make music like back in the day
Have the love of the world
