1999 Lyrics

[00:00.33] I just wanna go back, back to 1999
[00:05.25] Take a ride to my old neighborhood
[00:08.41] I just wanna go back, sing, "Hit me baby, one more time"
[00:13.11] Wanna go back, wanna go
[00:15.84] Yeah, I just wanna go back
[00:17.70] Nike Airs, All That
[00:19.54] CD, old Mercedes
[00:21.42] Drive 'round listening to Shady like, oh
[00:23.67] Never under pressure, oh
[00:25.81] Those days, it was so much better, oh
[00:27.53] Feelin' cool in my youth, relaxin'
[00:28.82] No money, no problem
[00:29.93] It was easy back then
[00:31.21] Ooh, wish that we could go back in time, uh
[00:37.44] Got memories
[00:39.28] Ooh, maybe we could do it tonight
[00:43.20] Tonight's the night
[00:46.78] I just wanna go back, back to 1999
[00:51.78] Take a ride to my old neighborhood
[00:54.95] I just wanna go back
[00:56.84] Sing, "Hit me baby, one more time"
[00:59.49] Wanna go back, wanna go
[01:02.14] Yeah, I remember back home
[01:03.71] Best friends, all night, no phone
[01:05.89] No cares, I was dumb and so young
[01:07.75] My room singing Michael Jackson (hee, hee)
[01:10.12] Never under pressure, oh
[01:12.02] Those days it was so much better, oh
[01:13.84] Feelin' cool in my youth, I'm askin'
[01:15.78] "Does anyone remember how we did it back then?"
[01:17.54] Ooh, wish that we could go back in time, uh
[01:23.68] Got memories
[01:25.64] Ooh, maybe we could do it tonight

[01:48.96] (Back) Back to where we came from
[01:50.05] Playin' air guitar on the roof
[01:51.85] In the kitchen, up on the table
[01:53.90] Like we had a beautiful view
[01:55.86] I wanna go
[01:56.90] I just wanna go back, back to 1999

[02:08.83]
[02:11.78] I know those days are over but a boy can fantasize
[02:15.57] 'Bout JTT on MTV and when I close my e-e-eyes
[02:20.22] And I'm right there, right there
[02:21.83] And he's right there, right there
[02:23.67] And we're right there, right there
