There Was A Time
writing 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 sleeping,
in another woman's bed,
or the doctors or the lawyers,
or a stranger that she met.
If there's nothing I can gain from this,
or anything at all,
it'd be the knowledge that ya 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 simulate a call,
all the bad of learning evils and
your ways around the laws
that keep you UP AND sitting pretty,
on a pedestal of MEN
and now you're sleeping like an angel,
near the man who you give head
***
If there's something 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’ve 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 calling you.
but I don't wanna know it now,
'cause knowing you it won't it change a damn thing.
but there was a time.
***
(Solo)
***
yeah, there was a time,
didn't wanna know it all,
didn't wanna know it all and
I don't wanna know it now,
***
yeah, there was a time,
didn't wanna know it all,
didn't wanna know it all and
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,
oh, I would do anything for you,
there was a time.
***
(Solo)
***
There was a time,
I would do anything for you,
yeah there was a time,
didn't wanna know it all,
didn't wanna know it all,
I don't wanna know it now,
didn't wanna know it all,
didn't wanna know it all,
I don't wanna know it now
