I still remember that hazy September
I've been waitin' for somebody like you to come back around
We would walk in the park every Saturday
Brand new all in love kissin' time away
You was all up on me, it was plain to see
That I was your girl
Way back then it was the simple things
Anklets, name plates that you gave to me
Sweet tarts, ring pops had that candy bling
And you were my world
Now I wish I could go back and make time stop
I would take this love throw back from the top
Go DJ play my song
And Imma think about you all night long
Back in the day we were in love, we're not in love any more
But some days I sit and wish we was in love again (A while ago)
Back in the day we were in love, we're not in love any more
But some days I sit and wish we was in love again (A while ago)
Irresponsible things we would do like
Fall asleep on the phone and skippin' school
Now I'm back to the future missin' you
My sweet baby (Like candy bling)
My sweet thing, like candy
Felt like real love, not just play play (Candy bling)
Missin' you my sweet baby (I can't delete your picture from my mind)
It was everything that I could do to stay away
And I often reminisce about the games we played
Oh yeah it was tag, chase, spin the bottle
Them butterflies would last till tomorrow
Then the lights came on
I had to run right home
And now I wish I could go back and make time stop
And I would take this love throw back from the top
Go DJ play my song
And Imma think about you all night long
Back in the day we were in love, we're not in love any more
But some days I sit and wish we was in love again (A while ago)
Back in the day we were in love, we're not in love any more
But some days I sit and wish we was in love again (A while ago)
Irresponsible things we would do like
Fall asleep on the phone and skippin' school
Now I'm back to the future missin' you
My sweet baby (Like candy bling)
My sweet thing, like candy
Felt like real love, not just play play
Missin' you my sweet baby (My sweet, sweet)
(I can't delete your picture from my mind)
I'm the same Mimi, fame ain't changed me
Butterfly flow like Muhammad Ali
Wish I could bring you back like the O.D.B.
Thinkin' about the whirlpools, me you and Jack
No matter what I do, all the memories are stacked
Thinkin 'bout 10th grade, thinkin 'bout 11th
Then you went Dougie Fresh all the way to heaven
Back in the day we were in love, we're not in love any more (Back in the day)
But some days I sit and wish we was in love again (I sit and wish we was)
Back in the day we were in love, we're not in love any more (I wish we was just like back in the day)
But some days I sit and wish we was in love again
Irresponsible things we would do like (Still I remember)
Fall asleep on the phone and skippin' school
Now I'm back to the future missin' you (Now I'm back in the, now I'm stuck in the future missin' you)
My sweet baby
My sweet thing, like candy
Felt like real love, not just play play
Missin' you my sweet baby (I can't delete your picture from my mind)
My sweet baby
My sweet thing, like candy (I can't delete your picture from my mind)
Felt like real love, not just play play
Missin' you my sweet baby (After all this time)
(I can't delete your picture from my mind)
