Lyrics It's All Been Done - Barenaked Ladies, Tom Lord-Alge

It's All Been Done

I met you before the fall of Rome
And I begged you to let me take you home
You were wrong, I was right
You said goodbye, I said goodnight
It’s all been done
It’s all been done
It’s all been done before
I knew you before the west was won
And I heard you say the past
Was much more fun
You go your way, I go mine
But I’ll see you next time
It’s all been done
It’s all been done
It’s all been done before
And if I put my fingers here, and if I say
«I love you, dear»
And if I play the same three chords,
Will you just yawn and say
It’s all been done
It’s all been done
It’s all been done before
Alone and bored on a 30th century night.
Will I see you on the price is right?
Will I cry?
Will I smile?
As you run down the aisle.
It’s all been done
It’s all been done
It’s all been done before
