1997
Girls remember back in the day
When you used to say
No way
When the guys wanted to play
Now all you do
Is hope and pray
They'll want to be with you
Forever and always
Back in the day
Oh the games we used to play
Now we must go on our way
Out into the world
We're no longer boys or girls
Guys remember way back when
You couldn't say a girl was your friend
Now looking back on way back then
You laugh with your girl friend
At how you've changed from boys to men
Back in the day
Oh the games we used to play
Now we must go on our way
Out into the world
We're no longer boys or girls
Girls remember back in the day
Wearing skirts and dresses with shorts underneath
Just to make sure the guys couldn't sneak a peak
Now it's not the same
No more time for flip up games
Back in the day
Oh the games we used to play
Now we must go on our way
Out into the world
We're no longer boys or girls
Guys remember way back when
You used to pull on pigtails
Just to hear the girls wail
Now you're the one paying the salon
Trying to make sure your girl's hair isn't cut wrong
Back in the day
Oh the games we used to play
Now we must go on our way
Out into the world
We're no longer boys or girls
Way back when
When every thing seemed all right
We'd play house then go out
And have a chicken fight
But as the years passed by
We came to realize
It's never easy to say good-bye
Back in the day
Oh the games we used to play
Now we must go on our way
Out into the world
We're no longer boys or girls
We started out as little boys and girls
Now we're making our places in the world
So now as we prepare to say good-bye
With the girls trying not to cry
We reminisce on back in the day
When we did nothing but play
Back in the day
Oh the games we used to play
Now we must go on our way
Out into the world
We're no longer boys or girls
