Lyrics

Now here's a little ditty about a girl I knew a while But I had not seen her since I was a little child She was a little bit older so she started to make a fuss She called ME a little boy and I said IT AIN'T THE WAY IT WAS I no longer play in the sandbox won't you let ME say now Life is what I enjoy and the world is my playground I schwing with the birdies I do sing Don't worry about our age difference it's just a little thing "Nothing but a number" say the creatures of the lumber The trees that do grow old are the ones not put asunder Don't think of me a bud I'm a flower that has bloomed So please my little daisy learn the words to the tune [Chorus] It ain't the way... It ain't the way... It ain't the way... The way it was It ain't the way... It ain't the way... It ain't the way it was I could see that I was breakin' her defenses So what if the prince is much younger than the princess As long as he's a leader his enemies will be crushed And ME PHI ME's a leader girl IT AIN'T THE WAY IT WAS So take a step back there's no need for thinking silly Curt and Dean taught me the love and responsibility That I have to show to any woman that I love Can you, can you, can you, can you handle the stuff that I give you I'll grab you and I'll bump you and I'll squeeze you and I'll rip you A brand new way of thinking when you see just how I stick you You won't think ME a boy you'll be sweating girl it's true you'll be huffin' and puffin' Gimme gimme ME PHI ME oh boy I can't resist What little boy can do things like this None I say It's only from a man That's what my par­ents raised me to be now can't you understand They didn't teach me to fornicate but I can't wait So mother and father don't listen to this verse Girl I'm gonna prove it to you proving it is a must IT AIN'T THE WAY IT WAS Say IT AIN'T THE WAY IT WAS [Chorus] It ain't the way... It ain't the way... It ain't the way... The way it was It ain't the way... It ain't the way... It ain't the way it was Seasons change oh my love for a very good reason When a thing has changed the world will find it more pleasin' The summer grows to fall and you see green leaves leavin' And my leaves are golden brown So let your skin feel the cool breeze Emancipated slaves now walk free In time we all change and grow And from the spirit we sing the song that goes [Chorus] It ain't the way... It ain't the way... It ain't the way... The way it was It ain't the way... It ain't the way... It ain't the way it was (she said) Well I guess that age isn't a good prerequisite Because I've dated guys my age and they are full of it So I'll look to the individual you are a man I trust ME PHI ME I realize that IT AIN'T THE WAY IT WAS So I just gave a smile and I knew I proved my point That I'm more man than any man in the joint So now I have this woman every night every mom Based upon my heart and mind not on the date I'm born So everybody listen when you are talk­ing about maturity Little boys cannot wear what a real man does And if the clothes don't make the man I'll undress... [Chorus] It ain't the way... It ain't the way... It ain't the way... The way it was It ain't the way... It ain't the way... It ain't the way it was
