It Aint the Way it Was
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
