Em
Now here's a little pleading
Am
about a girl I knew awhile
Em
But I had not seen her
Am
since I was a little child
She was a little bit older so she
Em
Am
started to make a fuss
She called me a little boy and
Em
Am
I said it ain't the way it was
Em
I no longer play in the sandbox baby
Am
won't you let me say now
Em
Life is what I enjoy,
and the world is my playground.
Am
I swing with the birdies I do sing.
Don't worry about the age difference,
Em
it's just a little thing.
Nothing but a number,
say the creatures of the lumber.
Am
The trees that do grow old are the
ones not put asunder.
Don't think of me a bud,
Em
Am
I'm a flower that has bloomed.
Em
So please, my little daisy,
Am
learn the words to the tune.
Em
They say, it ain't the way,
it ain't the way, the way it was.
Em
Am
It ain't the way, it ain't the way,
Em
it ain't the way it was.
Am
It ain't the way, it ain't the way,
it ain't the way, the way it was
Em
Am
It ain't the way, it ain't the way,
Em
it ain't the way it was
I could see that I was
Bm
So what if the prince is much
Am
younger than the princess?
Em
As long as he's a leader,
his enemies will be crushed
And
Bm
Am
Mephi means a leader,
girl, cause it ain't the way it was
So take a step back,
Em
there's no need for thinking silly
Em
That I have to show to
any woman that I love
Bm
Em
Can you, can you, can you,
Am
can you handle the stuff that I give you?
Em
I'll grab you and I'll squeeze you
Am
Em
and I'll bump you and I'll rip you
Am
I'll burn the weight of thinking
when you see just how I see you
You won't think me a boy,
you'll be sweating, girl, it's true
C#
You'll be huffing and puffing, you'll say
Gimme, gimme, me, find me, oh boy,
I can't resist
Bm
What little boy can do things like this?
Am
D
None, I say, it's only for my man
Am
That's what my parents raised me to be,
Em
now can't you understand?
Am
They did teach me to wanna keep a girl I can't wait so
Em
mother and father don't listen to this verse cuz girl
Am
Em
I'm gonna prove it to you proven.

Am
The way it was say it

Em
Am
It ain't the way, it ain't the way,
Em
Am
it ain't the way it was
Em
Seasons change all my love
Am
for a very good reason
Cause when a thing has grown the
world will find it more pleasing
The summer grows to fall and
you see green leaves leaving
Em
Am
My leaves are golden brown so
Em
Let your skin feel the
Em
Emancipated slaves now walk free
Because in time we all
must change and grow
And through the spirit we
sing the song that goes
Am
It ain't the way, it ain't the way,
Em
it ain't the way, the way it was
It ain't the way, it ain't the way,
it ain't the way it was
It ain't the way, it ain't the way,
it ain't the way, the way it was
It ain't the way, it ain't the way,
it ain't the way it was
Am
And after these things had come to pass
Em
Her response to me was a positive one
Am
She looked me deep in my eyes,
and she said,
Em
Am
Well, I guess that age isn't a good prerequisite,
because
Em
Outdated guys my age,
Am
and they are full of it
Em
So I look to the individual,
Am
cause you a man I trust
Me find me,
I realize that it ain't the way it was
Em
So I just gave a smile,
Am
cause I knew I proved my point
Bm
Am
That I'm more man than
any man in the joint
So now I have this woman every night,
every morn
Based upon my heart,
am I not on the date I'm born?
Em
So everybody listen,
Am
when you talk about maturity
Em
Little boys cannot wear
Am
what a real man does
Em
Am
An d if the clothes don't make the man,
Am
It ain't the way it was
Em
Am
It ain't way, it ain't the way,
it ain't the way, the way it was
Em
Am
It ain't the way, it ain't the way,
Em
it ain't the way it was
Am
It ain't the way, it ain't the way,
it ain't the way, the way it was
Em
Am
It ain't the way, it ain't the way,
C
Am
Em
it ain't the way it was
It ain't the way, it ain't the way,
Am
Em
it ain't the way, the way it was
It ain't the way, it ain't the way,
Am
Em
it ain't the way it was
