When I Was Little

[Intro]
(Lookin' at my Instagrams)
(Oof)
When I was little, a 1-2-3

[Verse 1]
When I was little we didn't have email
So I had to write a letter to my grand ma-ma
So I found myself some paper and I wrote down with pencil
And I stamped a stamp and put it in the mail

[Chorus]
But oh, that was then
You could say I love you to the paper and pen
And then send it in letters to family and friends

[Verse 2]
When I was little we didn't have I-Tunes
You had to buy a record at the record store
You would put it on the player and then hook it to a speaker
And then sing and dance and jump up on the couch

[Chorus]
But oh, that was then
You could say I love you when the record began
And then turn back the arm to play it again

[Verse 3]
When I was little we didn't have cellphones
So it was much harder to make a call
You would memorize the number
Or you'd find it in the phonebook
And your phone was often stuck up on a wall

[Chorus]
But oh, hold the phone
Be sure that you wait to hear the dial tone
Because most of your calls were made when you got home

[Verse 4]
Now that I'm older and things are moving faster
I still like to buy records at the record store
But I will send an email or I'll be your friend on Facebook
Or I'll text a funny message from my phone

[Chorus]
But oh, now and then
I will say I love you with paper and pen
'Cause no matter what changes, we'll always be friends
And there'll always be love and some paper and pens
