There Was A Time

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 for me
It'd be a long time for anyone but
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 a 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 for me
It was the wrong time for everyone
But 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 tear drops
Ooh, are callin' you
But I don't wanna know it now
Cause knowin' you it won't change a damn thing
But there was a time

(solo)

Yeah there was a time
Didn't wanna know at all...
Didn't wanna know at all...
N' I don't wanna know it now
Yeah there was a time
Didn't wanna know at all...
Didn't wanna know at all...
N' I don't wanna know it now

(solo)

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

(solo)

There was a time
I would do anything for you
Ooh...
Yeah, there was a time
I would do anything for you
Didn't wanna know at all...
Didn't wanna know at all...
Ooh...
N' 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...
N' I don't wanna know it now

There was a time...
There was a time
