Broken glass and cigarettes, writin' on the wall
|
It was a bargain for the summer and I thought I had it all
|
I was the one who gave you everything, the one who took the fall
|
You were the one who would do anything, the one who can't recall
|
|
Where she was while she was sleepin' in another woman's bed
|
Or the doctor's or the lawyer's or the stranger that she met
|
If there's nothin' I can gain from this or anything at all
|
It'd be the knowledge that you gave me when I thought I'd heard it all
|
|
It was a long time for you (it was a long time)
|
It was a long time for me (it was a long time)
|
It'd be a long time for anyone, but (it was a long time)
|
Looks like it's meant to be
|
|
Social class and registers, cocaine in the hall
|
All the way from California, on the way to your next call
|
To those non-negotiations to stimulate the cause
|
For the betterment of evils and your ways around the laws
|
|
That keep you up and sitting pretty on a pedestal or bed
|
And now you're sleeping like an angel, never mind who gave you head
|
If there's somethin' I can make of this or anything at all
|
It'd be the devil hates a loser and you thought you had it all
|
|
It was a wrong time for you (it was a wrong time)
|
It was a wrong time for me (it was a wrong time)
|
It was a wrong time for anyone, but (it was a wrong time)
|
Looks like I got to see for myself
|
|
If I could go back in time to the place in my soul, there all alone
|
Lonely teardrops, ooh, are callin' you
|
But I don't want to know it now 'cause knowin' you
|
It won't change a damn thing, but there was a time
|
|
Yeah, there was a time
|
Didn't wanna know at all
|
Didn't wanna know at all
|
And I don't wanna know it now
|
Yeah, there was a time
|
Didn't wanna know at all
|
Didn't wanna know at all
|
And I don't wanna know it now, oh
|
|
Oh, I would do anything for you
|
There was a time
|
I would do anything for you
|
I would do anything for you
|
There was a time
|
|
There was a time
|
I would do anything for you
|
Oh (yeah, there was a time)
|
I would do anything for you
|
(Didn't wanna know at all)
|
(Didn't wanna know at all)
|
Oh (and I don't wanna know it now)
|
I would do (didn't wanna know at all)
|
Anything for you (didn't wanna know at all)
|
And I don't wanna know it now
|
