Like Raphael

I was walking down the street, looking at my feet
I didn’t have no shoes.
On the way to school, looking like a fool
And everybody knew.

But it was all right ’cause my friends of mine
Knew I had a guitar
They knew I would play, become a big star
And I would go so far

Remember the times...when I didn’t have a dime
We remember the time...when I didn’t have a dime
Those were the best days...

Going down the street playing at the mall
On the cheap bikes
Looking for somebody to steel, somebody to rob
and somebody to fight

I didn’t know my name as well as I knew my friends
But I knew we were so cool
Everybody wanted to play by their own rules
We didn’t go to school

Remember the times...when I didn’t have a dime
We remember the time...when I didn’t have a dime
Those were the best days...

By the times I was 14 or 15
Trying to pass my driving test
The thing to do was to drive to school
’cause I could never win for best dressed

I drove a raggedy car, to sneaking to the bars
Young boy life has no stress
Watching cartoons and poppin balloons
That was the best

Remember the times...when I didn’t have a dime
We remember the time...when I didn’t have a dime
Those were the best days...


"Remember The Times" Lucy Pearl

Cold feet

Give me somethin for me to understand,
You're the only one who makes me lose it.
Lately we have vanity fallin behind
I wanna make-up for lost time.

Show me what it is that keeps me here,
I'll be the only one you'll ever need, dear.
Lately we have had our ups and downs,
I want you right here, right now...

All that I needed was some kind of feelin
Settin me free, makin me see that I need you now.
All that I needed was some kind of feelin
All in-between, makin me scream "Baby I need you now..."

All that I needed was some kind of feelin
Settin me free, makin me see that I need you now.
All that I needed was some kind of feelin
All in-between, makin me scream "Baby I need you now..."

Tell me everything there is to know,
But it doesn't mean a thing if you don't show.
Lately I've been feelin' the weight of the world.
It feels so unsure, things aren't like they were.

Listen for a minute dont' you leave.
Baby I need you and you need me.
Is this love or is this war?
The time is now for our new start...

All that I needed was some kind of feelin
Settin me free, lettin me see that I need you now
All that I needed was some kind of reason
Calling on me, making me see that the time is now

All that I needed was some kind of feelin
Settin me free, letting me see that I need you now
All that I needed was some kind of reason
Calling for me, makin me see that the time is now...
