Shaggy - Back In The Days lyrics

Straight outta Flatbush, always tek it back
(Whoa oh) fi yuh peeps (Whoa whoa whoa oh)
Don't worry about it, it's been brought up
Cause you never know what your
Gonna turn out to be

(No oh oooh oooh) Life has it's funny twist
And turns yuh nah mean (Yay yay)

Back in the days
Tried and failed but look at me now
How, things have changed
Had no friends but look at me now
It, seems so strange
No one cared but look at me now
Fortune and fame
Who would guess but look at me now

Friends, spend nuh time wid dem
I was the kid who never follow many trends
Used to wear the glasses with
The soda bottle lens
Girls didn't like me and a
Few would just pretend
It's funny back in school the
Guys that were so cool
Are the very ones who wish them could
A be walkin inna mi shoes
Now tell me whose the fool
Them never have a clue
That's why I'm here to dedicate this
Song to all of you, hey hey!

Back in the days
(The days) tried and failed but
Look at me now how, things have changed
(How things changed) had no friends
But look at me now it, seems so strange
(So strange) no one cared but look at me now
Fortune and fame
(Oooh wee) who would guess but look at me now

I, never realized
I could make reality di tings I fantasize

Stuck to my plan and to everyone surprise
Even those who doubt a
Stand before mi mesmerized
I bloom delay a late, I couldn't get an eight
Di cheerleadin chicks grew up
To all be overweight
See now I lookin great, I wonda what they ate
To that I'm really happy
Wid my supermodel date, hey hey

Back in the days
(I know) tried and failed but look at me now

How, things have changed
(Shooby dooby doo yeah) had no friends
But look at me now it, seems so strange
(I know I know) no one cared
But look at me now fortune and fame
(No no) who would guess but look at me now

If you think you got it figured
Out well listen to me
Don't ever underestimate what people can be
Now who's the one that's
Most likely to succeed
It's usually the one's you don't see, hey

If you think you got it figured
Out well listen to me
Don't ever underestimate what people can be
Now who's the one that's
Most likely to succeed
It's usually the one's you don't see
Come again

Back in the days
(Back in the days) tried and failed
But look at me now how, things have changed
(How things have changed) had no friends
But look at me now it, seems so strange
(So strange) no one cared but look at me now

Fortune and fame
(Oh) who would guess but look at me now
Back in the days
(Back in the days) tried and failed
But look at me now how, things have changed
(How things have changed) had no friends
But look at me now it, seems so strange
(So strange
Hey) no one cared but look at me now
Fortune and fame
Who would guess but look at me now

Oooh, back in the days, how things
Have changed, said a rearranged, hey
Back in the days, how
Things have changed, oh, um um
Um, um um um um, um um um um, hey!
