All our troubles seemed so far away,
That was when I lived from day to day,

Do you remember the times,
When all on our minds,
Was having fun,
And catching a buzz,
That was life for you and for me,

Oh-oh-oh I want it back,
Oh-oh-oh I want it back, now,
I've got my life to live,

Looking back now at all of my friends,
And asking myself why these times had to end,
Well, I'm older now than I was then,
And it makes no sense to try and deny it,
There's no use to try and defy it,
That's the way life goes for you and for me

Oh-oh-oh I want it back,
Oh-oh-oh I want it back, now,
I've got my life to live,

Hey

Oh-oh-oh I want it back,
Oh-oh-oh I want it back, now,
I've got my life to live,
Right now, right now, right now
