The hours used to crawl by like the beetles
I kept in cardboard boxes - thought they'd never escape
but each morning when I woke up, I'd find them gone and
it's funny how time has worked out that way
The world used to be like my imagination -
An endless string of dreams I'd forever explore
Every corner of each city, I'd wanna race in,
I didn't think of the terrors that my nightmares could hold.
Hai ya ya ya etc.
Girls and boys, girls and boys
Romping in the backyard, making up stories
Girls and boys, girls and boys
Still playing our games, but we've lost our toys
Ooh ooh.
Adults 'way back when' were so much smarter
I was sure that I could trust what they say
Yet on the odd occasion they'd be mistaken
And now I've figured out that'll never change
When I was a child I saw my future
I knew right from wrong, every answer was plain
But now I'm all grown up I've graduated
Cos I have seen how black and white can blur into grey
Hai ya ya ya etc.
Girls and boys, girls and boys
Romping in the backyard, making up stories
Girls and boys, girls and boys
Still playing our games, but we're not just
Girls and boys, girls and boys
Romping in the backyard, making up stories
Girls and boys, girls and boys
Still playing our games...
Shall I play with you?
Would that be a bad move?
Can we change the rules?
Does someone have to lose?
Girls and boys...
Girls and boys...
Girls and boys, girls and boys
Romping in the backyard, making up stories
Girls and boys, girls and boys
Still playing our games, but we're not just
Girls and boys, girls and boys
Romping in the backyard, making up stories
Girls and boys, girls and boys
Still playing our games, but we've lost our toys
