Sittin' on the front porch
Hangin' with my girlfriends
Watchin' nosy neighbor
(I remember when)
We be playin' hopscotch
Nasty boys be trying to watch
Miss Right be trying to make 'em stop
(I remember when)
I remember hide and seek
Boys be trying to sneak a peek
Some girls gave it easily
(I remember when)
I remember acting ground
Hangin' out at Brenda's house
We gone before the streetlights came on
If you remember, say
Oh
Oh
Oh
If you remember, say
(I remember when)
Oh
Oh
Oh
I remember when
I remember when
I remember when
I remember my first kiss
Very young and innocent
Toby said he loved me
(I remember when)
I did Betty playin' spades
Sippin' something sweet
Harmonizing with Teena Marie
(I remember when)
Jordan Street's lip gloss
Michael Jackson, 'Off The Wall'
Jerry, pills and pellets, did it all
(I remember when)
Backyard barbecues
House parties, slow groove
Sneakin' in after curfew
If you remember, say
Oh
Oh
Oh
If you remember, say
(I remember when)
Oh
Oh
Oh
I remember when
I remember when
I remember when
Lookin' back just makes me think
How good we had it
And I'm so glad we never took
These things for granted
I know that I'm wiser for it
Know that I'm better for it
Know that I was wrong before
No way, I can't ignore it
All that I am today
It was a plan for me
I wouldn't change anything
(I remember)
If you remember, say
Oh
Oh
Oh
If you remember, say
(I remember when)
Oh
Oh
Oh
I remember when
I remember when
I remember when
45s
8tracks
Roller skates
(I remember when)
Hold me
Pom poms
Sweet and sour
I remember when
I remember when
I remember when
