There was a time

Broken Glass and cigarettes Writin` on the wall It was a brgain for the summer And I thought I had it all It 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 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 a long time for you ( It was a long time) It was a long time for me ( It was a long time) It`ll be a long time for anyone but ( It was a long time ) 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 ta 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 ta know at all... Didn`t wanna know at 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 I would do anything for you Didn`t want ta know at all... Didn`t wanna know at 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
