The Way Things Used to Be |
I look at your face and I see it’s red |
you got a lot on your plate that is in your head |
you think that money’s ok but it ought to grow on trees |
and when I say why don’t you plant a coin |
you say I’m being sarcastic and that you’re goin' |
see how a silly remark can cause a lot of tears |
And people don’t know what we’re going through |
they think if nothing is right it can’t be true |
they have an image of us that only they can see |
the way things used to be |
I look at your heart and I see it’s gone |
there’s nothing beating Inside not even a drum |
it doesn’t matter I dare-say as long as you can breathe |
and when I say is that beef wellington |
you say I’ve told you goddamnit bourgignon |
see how a silly mistake can cause a lot of grief |
And like It or not it’s a sad affair |
we never talk anymore go out anywhere |
the way things used to be The way things used to be not so long ago |
when we were young and free |
the way things used to be not so long ago |
you were loving me every night and every day strong in every way |
passion glowing like a fire burning with desire |
whatever happened |
I look at your face and I see it’s long |
You’ve got one hell of a cheek saying nothing’s wrong |
you think I like it when friends are reluctant to appear |
and when I say why don’t you tell me straight |
you say I’m losing my temper and that you hate |
see how an over-reaction causes so much fear |
and when I get home after being away |
you know I’ve only one thought for the coming day |
I wish that in between fighting we could stop and see |
the way things used to be |
