As a child, there were them time. I didn't get it but you kept me in line...

Could you tell me what those mean? For more details, search for Bye bye- Mariah Carey.

It's incorrect grammar. Poor English can often be found in pop songs.

Thanks for you attention to my poor topics. Anyway, I still want to know what the composer implies when writing that. Thanks again for your passion.

When I was a child there were times when you made sure that I behaved myself and stayed out of trouble, though I didn't understand it/appreciate it.

The lyrics read 'there were them times' not 'there were them time', 'them' meaning 'those'.

Sorry. That was a typo. We can easily hear the /s/ it the word. Thank you Bee. So, keep sb in line means watch over? Or care?

[Beeesneees]

keep in line = keep out of trouble, ensure conformity to society's standards.
