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)
