Alice may refer to:
Gay is a term that primarily refers to a homosexual person or the trait of being homosexual. The term was originally used to refer to feelings of being "carefree", "happy", or "bright and showy".
The term's use as a reference to homosexuality may date as early as the late 19th century, but its use gradually increased in the 20th century. In modern English, gay has come to be used as an adjective, and as a noun, referring to the people, especially to gay males, and the practices and cultures associated with homosexuality. By the end of the 20th century, the word gay was recommended by major LGBT groups and style guides to describe people attracted to members of the same sex.
At about the same time, a new, pejorative use became prevalent in some parts of the world. In the Anglosphere, this connotation, among younger speakers, has a meaning ranging from derision (e.g., equivalent to rubbish or stupid) to a light-hearted mockery or ridicule (e.g., equivalent to weak, unmanly, or lame). In this use, the word rarely means "homosexual", as it is often used, for example, to refer to an inanimate object or abstract concept of which one disapproves. The extent to which these usages still retain connotations of homosexuality has been debated and harshly criticized.
I remember when we used to be in our teens
A-wearin' bobby socks and old blue jeans
That was long ago, so I'd like to say
I love you in the same old way, uh-hah
I love you in the same old way
Mmmmmm, I remember when we used to babysit your brother
And who was watching us?
Your father and mother
That was long ago and I'd like to say
I love you in the same old way, uh-hah
I love you in the same old way
Now, heaven, I'm in heaven again
And I still remember where and when
And I love you, you still love me, hah
And that's the way its gonna be
Ah, I remember when we were in school
A-learning how to live by the golden rule
That was long ago and I'd like to say
I love you in the same old way, uh-hah
I love you in the same old way
Ho!
Mmmmmm, heaven, I'm in heaven again
And I still remember where and when
I still love you, you know you love me
And that's the way its gonna be
Ho! I remember when we used to be in school
A-learning how to live by the golden rule
That was long ago and I'd like to say
I love you in the same old way, uh-hah
I love you in the same old way, uh-hah
I love you in the same old way, uh-hah
