There Was A Time - Guns N' Roses

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 everythin', the one who took the fall

You were the one who would do anythin', 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 anythin' 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 simulate a cause

For the betterment of evils and your ways around the laws

That keep you up and sittin' pretty on a pedestal or bed

An' 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 the wrong time for anyone, 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 calling you

But I don’t want to know it, now, 'cause knowing you

It won’t change a damn thing, but there was a time

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, I didn’t wanna know, at all

Didn’t wanna know, at all, and I don’t wanna know it, now

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, I would do anything for you

(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)

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, there was a time
