And all those calls from the corner phonebooth
 Collect to Mom and Dad
 And that old worn out couch we called our bed
 When our cuisine was pork and beans
 Baloney and day old bread

 Remember that damn old car that kept breaking down
 And all the times it left me stranded
 Thumbing all over town
 And that old weekly paycheck
 Just never stretched enough
 Back in the times of nickels and dimes and love

 Together we sure made some dreams come true
 Sometimes it wasn't easy
 But somehow we made it through
 And when I get to thinking times are tough
 I remember the times
 Of nickels and dimes and love
 Oh those good old times
 Of nickels and dimes and love

 Remember digging through your old purses in hopes we'd get
 Enough change for an RC cola or a pack of cigarettes
 Now we've got almost everything
 That we were dreaming of
 Back in the times
 Of nickels and dimes and love

 Together we sure made some dreams come true
 Sometimes it wasn't easy
 But somehow we made it through
 And when I get to thinking times are tough
 I remember the times
 Of nickels and dimes and love
 Oh those good old times
 Of nickels and dimes and love
 Do you remember those times
 Of nickels and dimes and love
