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 women's bed Or the doctor's or the lawyer's Or the stranger that she met If there's nothin' that 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 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 the wrong time for you (It was a long time) It was the wrong time for me (It was a long time) It was the wrong time for anyone but (It was a long time) Looks like I'm 'bout 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 ta know it all... Didn't wanna know it all... N' I don't wanna know it now Yeah there was a time Didn't want ta know it all... Didn't wanna know it all... N' 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 Ooh... Yeah, there was a time Didn't want ta know it all... Didn't wanna know it all... Ooh... N' I don't wanna know it now I would do... Didn't want to 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
