If it seems like I've been lostIn let's rememberIf you think I'm feeling older And missing my younger daysOh, then you should have knownMe much better Cause my past is something that neverGot in my wayOh no Still I would not be here nowIf I never had the hungerAnd I'm not ashamed to say The wild boys were my friendsOhCause I never felt the desire 'Til their music set me on fireAnd then I was saved, yeah That's why I'm keeping the faithYeah, yeah, yeah, yeahKeeping the faith We wore matador bootsOnly Flagg Brothers had them with the Cuban heel Iridescent socks with the same color shirtAnd a tight pair of chinosOh I put on my shark skin jacketYou know the kind with the velvet collar And ditty-bop shadesOh yeahI took a fresh pack of Luckies And a mint called Sen-SenMy old man's TrojansAnd his Old Spice after shaveOh Combed my hair in a pompadourLike the rest of the Romeos woreA permanent wave YeahWe were keeping the faithYeah, yeah, yeah, yeahKeeping the faith You can get just so muchFrom a good thingYou can linger too longIn your dreams Say goodbye to theOldies but goodiesCause the good ole days weren'tAlways good And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seemsLearned stickball as a formal education Lost a lot of fightsBut it taught me how to lose O.K.OhI heard about sex But not enoughI found you could danceAnd still look tough anywayOh yes I did I found out a man ain't just being macho
