Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Went out walkin' through the wood the other day

And the world was a carpet laid before me

The birds were burstin' and the air smelled sweet and strange

Seem about 100 years ago

[Verse 2]

Mary and I, we would sit upon a gate

Just gazin' at some dragon in the sky

What tender days, we had no secrets hid away

Well, that seemed about 100 years ago

[Verse 3]

Now all my friends is wearin' worried smiles

Livin' out a dream of what they was

Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?

[Verse 4]

Went out walkin' through the wood the other day

Can't you see the furrows in my forehead?

What tender days, we had no secrets hid away

Now it seem about 100 years ago

[Verse 5]

Now if you see me drinkin' bad red wine

Don't worry 'bout this man that you love

Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?

[Verse 6]

You're gonna kiss those days goodbye

Yeah, I warn you, yeah, yes

You're gonna kiss those days goodbye

Yeah, I warn you, yeah

You're gonna kiss those days goodbye

Lord, I warn you

Please excuse me while I hide away

[Verse 7]

Call me lazy bones

I ain't got no time to waste away

Lazy bones ain't got no time to waste away

Don't you think, don't you think

It's just about time to hide away?

Yeah, yeah

[Verse 8]

Yeah

Yeah

Ow, kiss me

Kiss me, babe

Come on and kiss me, kiss me

Woo

Kiss me, baby

Kiss me, baby

Goodbye, goodbye, yeah

Goodbye, yeah, goodbye, yeah

Come on

Come on, baby

Kiss me

Yeah, you gotta kiss me, baby, come on

I want you

I want you

I want you, come on

I want you

I want you

Oh, Lord, yeah

I want you, come on, girl
