We had, we had, we had
A good thing, good thing, good thing
Don't know nobody else that has what
We had, we had, we had
I know, I know, I know
You had, you had to go
I don't, I don't, I don't know where, but
I know you had to go
I remember when your dad called me a hippie
Because I wasn't like the ones you brought home before
These days I try to stay out of the city
'Cause I see your photograph in every store
But we had, we had, we had
A good thing, good thing, good thing
Don't know nobody else that has what
We had, we had, we had
But I ain't ever sad that it's over
I'm just glad that it happened at all
Maybe I'll see you again when I'm older, baby
But until then, I'll be sitting, writing songs
(About what) we had, we had, we had
(Oh, such a) good thing, good thing, good thing
Don't know nobody else that has what (no, no-no-no, nobody else)
We had, we had, we had (we had)
What we had, we had, we had
A good thing, good thing, good thing
Don't know nobody else that has what
We had, we had, we had
