Verse
Back when you, when you were my darling
I didn't mind to lose a little sleep
I didn't mind to do a little walkin
Reputation never meant that much to me
[G/f#]
How do I find that old familiar feeling?
[G/f#]
One that carried me so many years ago
[G/f#]
Fun was dominos and seven up and Seagram's
Thing were simple then just movin nice and slow
Pre-chorus
Ain't it strange?
Well, ain't it strange?
Chorus
Well I had no clue, I'd... be the boy who
Your momma warned you about
Well I had no clue, I'd... be the boy who
Your momma warned you about

Verse
Well, that old seen is always coming to me
I see you standin with your husband and your child
And you're a picture of strength, grace and beauty
And me I'm just a fool in a super market aisle
[G/f#]
Well I know, hello would surly end up awkward
[G/f#]
I never had the knack for talkin any way
[G/f#]
You're not the kind for bending over backwards
Smile and turn my shopping cart around and walk away
Pre-chorus
Ain't it strange?
Well, ain't it strange?

Well I had no clue, I'd... be the boy who

Ain't it stange how well I knew you back when I was 17
Lovin you was easy baby but I was just a child
And these days you aint nothing just an interstate daydream
Folks were sleeping and we were runnin wild
Pre-chorus
And I still do my share of sleeping on the floor
Not sure if anybody knows me anymore
Chorus
Well I had no clue, I'd... be the boy who
Your momma warned you about
Well I had no clue, I'd... be the boy who
Your momma warned you about
