Back Then and Now
From the lap of Santa
To shotgun in his Benz
From the tears over a busted knee
To the tears of a broken heart
Back then I would never go out alone
Now it’s “See you when I get home”
From Ring Around the Rosy
To Alicia Keys and Common
The times have changed as have I
Man I wish I could rewind
From the stitches in my head
To the braids that are now there
From Baby Sis
To Junior Miss
From the play grounds I once loved
To my homes away from home all around
From cute as a button
To “Woo girl”
Back then I was a tomboy
Now I love the boy
They say time flies when you having fun
Look at me now
You’ll never believe who I’ll become
