Lyrics
Sweet Innocence
Songwriter- John Johnson
Remember the good old days
Making love in that old Chevrolet
Now I look back we were all so crazy
Playing house it was truth or dare
Skinny dipping without underwear
But time went and changed
And we had to move on
Use to stay up late we would fuss and fight
Then take our time making up all night
Young dumb and fearless
We would jump in the fire
For nothing but the taste of desire
We didn't know life would expire
We didn't know love would take you down to the wire
Sitting there without a clue
Like two birds on a fence
I remember the day 1984
I lost my sweet innocence
My sweet innocence
Remember those great hair bands
Walking round in those tight leg pants
Now looking back we all look so crazy
Hanging out at the county fair
Look at us with the funny hair
But time went and change
And we had to move
Use to stay up late we would fuss and fight
Then take our time making up all night
Young dumb and fearless
We would jump in the fire
For nothing but the taste of desire
We didn't know life would expire
We didn't know love would take you down to the wire
Sitting there without a clue
Like two birds on a fence
I remember the day 1984
I lost my sweet innocence
Long ago in a different time
The world I know was beautiful and kind
But something open my eyes
Boy was I surprise
Cause I was sitting there without a clue
Like two birds on a fence
Cause I remember the day 1984
I lost my sweet innocence
NO no you can never go back
Once you know you can never
Never never never never get your innocence back
