Remember when pocket change was all we had

And all those calls from the corner phonebooth

Collect to Mom and Dad

And that old worn out couch we called our bed

When our cuisine was pork and beans

Baloney and day old bread

Remember that damn old car that kept breaking down

And all the times it left me stranded

Thumbing all over town

And that old weekly paycheck

Just never stretched enough

Back in the times of nickels and dimes and love

Together we sure made some dreams come true

Sometimes it wasn't easy

But somehow we made it through

And when I get to thinking times are tough

I remember the times

Of nickels and dimes and love

Oh those good old times

Of nickels and dimes and love

Remember digging through your old purses in hopes we'd get

Enough change for an RC cola or a pack of cigarettes

Now we've got almost everything

That we were dreaming of

Back in the times

Of nickels and dimes and love

Together we sure made some dreams come true

Sometimes it wasn't easy

But somehow we made it through

And when I get to thinking times are tough

I remember the times

Of nickels and dimes and love

Oh those good old times

Of nickels and dimes and love

Do you remember those times

Of nickels and dimes and love
