Lyrics

There Was A Time

Broken glass and cigarettes Writin' on the wall It was a bargain for the summer an' 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 One who can't recall Where she was while she was sleepin' In another women'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 sleepin' like an angel Never mind who you gave 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 a 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 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 want to know at all Didn't wanna know at all N' I don't wanna know it now Yeah, there was a time Didn't want to know at all Didn't wanna know at all N' I don't wanna know it now 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 Yeah, there was a time Didn't want to know at all Didn't wanna know at all N' I don't wanna know it now I would do anything for you (didn't want to know at all) Didn't wanna know at all N' I don't wanna know it now (There was a time) (There was a time)
