Guns N’ Roses - There Was a Time Lyrics

Broken glass and cigarettes
Writing 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 sleeping
In another woman's bed
Or the doctors or the lawyers
Or a stranger that she met
If there's nothing I can gain from this
Or anything at all
It'd be the knowledge that you gave me
When I thought I've heard it all

It was a long time with you
It was a long time with 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 simulate a call
For the betterment of evils and your ways around the laws that keep you
Up and sitting pretty
On a pedestal of men
And now you're sleeping like an angel
Near the man who you gave head

If there's something 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 the wrong time for everyone
But looks like I'm about to see for myself

If I could go back in time to the place in my soul, there all alone
Lonely tear drops
Ooh, are calling you
But I don't wanna know it now
'Cause knowing you, it won't change a damn thing
But there was a time

Yeah, there was a time
Didn't wanna know at all
Didn't wanna know at all
I don't wanna know it now

Yeah, there was a time
Didn't wanna know at all
Didn't wanna know at all
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
Oh, I would do anything for you
Oh, I would do anything for you
Yeah there was a time
Didn't wanna know at all
Didn't wanna know at all
I don't wanna know it now
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)

There was a time, was a time
