Things Ain’t Like They Used to Be Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I went around the way for you
Did all those things you asked me to
I thought it was the perfect day
'Til she just opened up to say

[Chorus]
It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Things ain't like they used to be

[Verse 2]
I headed out to Lester Hill
But that just made me weaker still
She's got the kind of love I need
The kind that's never good on me


[Chorus]
It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Things ain't like they used to be

[Verse 3]
Walked into the battle blind
It happens almost all the time
The yard is kind of overgrown
And all those happy times are gone
[Chorus]
It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Things ain't like they used to be

It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Things ain't like they used to be

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
