New Mexico, new Diet Coke
New taxes on the same pack of smokes
New President, new presidence
New music ain't got no soul

New Hollywood, new generation
New drugs for a new sensation
American cars made overseas
New parking lots that used to be trees

I like the way it used to be
When we were in love so wild and free
Baby, come back
Come back, come back to me

New attitude, whoas me
Now every little girl needs therapy
New politics, new set of rules
Brand new problems from a new set of fools

New night clubs same old scene
Forty years olds tryin' to look eighteen
Two hundred thirty five beers on tap
I order a Bud, the bartender just laughs

I like the way it used to be
When we were in love so wild and free
Baby, come back
Come back, come back to me

Look what you've done
To this world so right
Just by telling
Me goodbye

I like the way it used to be
When we were in love so wild and free

I like the way it used to be
When we were in love so wild and free
Baby, come back
Come back to me

I like the way it used to be
When we were in love so wild and free
Baby, come back
Baby, come back to me

I like the way it used to be
I like the way it used to be
When we were in love so wild and free
Baby, come back to me

Baby, come back to me
Baby, come back to me
I like the way it used to be
Baby, come back to me
