[Verse 1]

Ooh, 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, 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 a 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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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 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

[Chorus]

It was a wrong time for you (It was a wrong time)

It was a wrong time for me (It was a wrong time)

It was the wrong time for everyone, but (It was the wrong time)

Looks like I got to see for myself

[Bridge]

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Yeah, there was a time, I didn't wanna know at all

Didn't wanna know at all and I don't wanna know it now

Yeah, there was a time, didn't wanna know at all

Didn't wanna know at all and 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

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]

There was a time

I would do anything for you

Ooh-oh, I would do anything for you

(Yeah, there was a time, didn't wanna know at all)

(Didn't wanna know at all and I don't wanna know it now)

Oh, I would do anything for you

(Didn't wanna know at all)

(Didn't wanna know at all and I don't wanna know it now)

Didn't know

There was a time
