Back in the day Songtext
von Erykah Badu

Oh, yeah, yeah-yeah, oh, yeah
Yes, like that (serious)
Yeah-yeah (mmh), yeah, yeah-yeah
Back in the day, now

Back in the day when things were cool, hey, yeah
All we needed was bop-bop-bop-bop-bop, ba-da (hey)
Oh-oh-oh, bop-bop-bop-bop-bop, ba-da
Well, well, well

Back in the day when things were cool, hey
All we needed was bop-bop-bop-bop-bop, ba-da (hey)
Oh-oh-oh, bop-bop-bop-bop-bop, ba-da
Well, well, well

Soulflower, take me flying with you, hey
Gimme that bop-bop-bop-bop-bop, ba-da
Gimme some of that bop-bop-bop-bop-bop, ba-da
Well, well, well


Back in the day when things were cool, hey
We used to meet up with these dudes, hey
Then we′d roll out on hopes and truths
And we would ride around the park 'til it′s after dark
Pumpin' the trunk with the windows rolled up, puff
Well, well, well, say

Back in the day when things were cool, hey, yeah
All we needed was bop-bop-bop-bop-bop, ba-da
Oh-oh-oh, bop-bop-bop-bop-bop, ba-da
Well, well, well

Back in the day when things were cool, hey
All we needed was bop-bop-bop-bop-bop, ba-da (hey)
Oh-oh-oh, bop-bop-bop-bop-bop, ba-da
Well, well, well

Soulflower, take me flying with you, hey
Just gimme that bop-bop-bop-bop-bop, ba-da, hey
Gimme some of that bop-bop-bop-bop-bop, ba-da (ba-da)
Well, well, well

Wailin', and singin′, and jammin′, and talkin'
And pumpin′ the trunk with the windows rolled up, puff
Well, well, well
The laughin' and singin′ and jammin' and talkin′
And pumpin' the trunk with the windows rolled up, puff
Well, well, well


Laughin', and singin′, and jammin′, and talkin'
And pumpin′ the trunk with the windows rolled up, puff
Well, well, well
And we would ride around the park 'til it′s after dark
And when we got home, hope the dogs don't bark, puff
Well, well, well

Laughin′ and singin' and jammin' and talkin′ (soulflower)
And pumpin′ the trunk with the windows rolled up, puff (take me flying with you)
Well, well, well
And we would ride around the park 'til it′s after dark
When we get home, hope the dog don't bark, puff
Well, well, well

Laughin′ and singin' and jammin′ and talkin' (soulflower)
And pumpin' the trunk with the windows rolled up, puff (take me flying with you)
Well, well, well
And we would ride around the park ′til it′s after dark
When we get home, hope the dog don't bark, puff

Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff
Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff
