On the fourth track on Carey’s Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, she reminisces about the sweetness and simpleness of young love from her highschool days. She wishes she could go back to that time, while mourning the death of the song’s subject.
[Intro]
I still remember
That hazy September
I've been waitin' for somebody like you
To come back around
[Verse 1]
We would walk in the park
Every Saturday
Brand new all in love kissin' time away
You was all up on me, it was plain to see
That I was your girl
Way back when it was the simple things
Anklets, name plates that you gave to me
Sweet tarts, Ring Pops
Had that candy bling
And you were my world
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I wish I could go back
And make time stop
I would take this love
Throw back from the top
Go DJ play my song
And I'm gon' think about you
All night long
[Chorus]
Back in the day we were in love
We're not in love any more
But some days I sit and wish
We was in love again (I wanna go back, back)
Back in the day we were in love
We're not in love anymore
But some days I sit and wish
We was in love again (I wanna go back, back)
Irresponsible things we would do like
Fall asleep on the phone
And skippin' school
Now I'm back to the future missin' you (like candy bling)
My sweet baby
My sweet thing, like candy
Felt like real love, not just play play (like candy bling)
Missin' you my sweet baby
I can't delete your picture from my mind (like candy bling)
[Verse 2]
It was everything that I could do
To stay away
And I often reminisce about
The games we played
Oh yeah it was tag, chase, spin the bottle
Them butterflies would last
Till tomorrow
Then the lights came on
I had to run right home
[Pre-Chorus]
And now I wish I could go back
And make time stop
And I would take this love
Throw back from the top
Go DJ play my song
And I'm gon' think about you
All night long
[Chorus]
Back in the day we were in love
We're not in love any more
But some days I sit and wish (boy I wish)
We were in love again (I wanna go back, back)
Back in the day we were in love
We're not in love anymore
But some days I sit and wish
We were in love again (I wanna go back, back)
Irresponsible things we would do like
Fall asleep on the phone
And skippin' school
Now I'm back to the future missin' you (like candy bling)
My sweet baby
My sweet thing, like candy
Felt like real love, not just play play (like candy bling)
Missin' you my sweet baby (my sweet sweet ooh)
I can't delete your picture from my mind (like candy bling)
[Bridge]
I'm the same Mimi
Fame ain't changed me
Butterfly flow like Muhammad Ali
Wish I can bring you back like the O.D.B
Thinkin' about the whirlpools
Me you and Jack
No matter what I do
All the memories are stacked
Thinkin' 'bout 10th grade
Thinkin' 'bout 11th
Then you went Dougie Fresh
All the way to heaven
[Chorus]
Back in the day we were in love
We're not in love any more
(Back in the day)
But some days I sit and wish
We were in love again (I wanna go back, back)
(I sit and wish we was)
Back in the day we were in love
We're not in love anymore
(I wish we was just like back in the day)
But some days I sit and wish
We were in love again (I wanna go back, back)
Irresponsible things we would do like
(Still remember)
Fall asleep on the phone
And skippin' school
Now I'm back to the future missin' you (like candy bling)
(Now I'm back in the, now I'm stuck in the future missing you)
My sweet baby
My sweet thing, like candy
Felt like real love, not just play play (like candy bling)
Missin' you my sweet baby
I can't delete your picture from my mind (like candy bling)
[Outro]
I can't delete your picture from my mind
After all this time
I can't
Oh...
