I remember Saturdays helping Mama in her kitchen 

Conversations prying, baking with passing down the wisdom 

She said babygirl you're a queen and this is how you should be treated 

Words she washed with tears and planted in my soul 



[Chorus]

Can we just go back to the simple kinda living? 

Can we just go back and maybe start from the beginning? 

Back to better days, when love was for the giving 

Can we just go back to the way we were? 



Mama said there was a time when brothers were each others keepers 

Sisters held each other close till there was nothing left between them 

Back when a song was a song you could sing along didn't matter how long 

Just as long as it spoke to ya, sung to ya 

Do you know what I mean? 



Now I'm chasing rainbows and dreams, 

trying hard to believe 

this is how it could be 

Yesterday was yesterday, tomorrow's just a day away 

By then it may be too late, maybe we can start today
