Lyrics:
I remember (I remember)
When I used to play shoot 'em up
(Shoot 'em up, bang, bang, baby)
I remember (uh-uh-uh)
When I chased the girls and beat 'em up
But I was young and didn't understand (uh-uh-uh)
But now I'm a grown-up man (uh-uh-uh)
I know girls are made for kissing (uh-uh-uh)
Never knew what I was missing (uh-uh-uh)
Now, my life is not the same
My whole world has been rearranged
I went from (cowboys to girls)
Oh, yes, I did (shoot 'em up, bang, bang)
(Cowboys to girls)
I remember (I remember)
When I used to see you jumping rope
(Jumpin' rope up and down, baby)
And I remember (uh-uh-uh)
When you got your first baby coach
But you were young and didn't understand (uh-uh-uh)
Now you're a woman, and I'm a man (uh-uh-uh)
And it's me that you're kissing (uh-uh-uh)
Ain't it fun reminiscing? (Uh-uh-uh)
And our lives are not the same
Our whole world has been rearranged
You went from (baby dolls to boys)
Oh, yes, you did (jumpin' rope, baby)
And I went from (cowboys to girls)
Oh, yes, I did
Now, it's me that you're kissing (uh-uh-uh)
Ain't it fun reminiscing? (Uh-uh-uh)
Now my life is not the same
This whole world has been rearranged
I went from (cowboys to girls)
Oh, yes, I did (shoot 'em up, bang, bang)
And you went from (baby dolls to boys)
Oh, yes, you did (jumpin' rope, baby) taking back
Oh, yes, once again, baby (shoot 'em up)
(Baby dolls to boys)
Talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout
(Waiting in vain-)
