lyrics
It was good once…Wasn’t it?
It was good once wasn’t it?
And despite the lies that we let slide
And painful memories aside
It was good once
We were good though, weren’t we? (Darling we were so good)
We did good though, didn’t we? (Like I knew that we would)
And at night it went to hell, oh well!
By day we were under the spell
And truth be told, there’s nowhere that I’d rather be
It was good once
(Come on boys, let’s get this party started!)
Movies in the dark
Remind us of a time gone by
And despite the fights we had each night
The things we said that just weren’t right
Nobody can deny it was especially
Good once
And I spent so long forgetting you
Forgot the good things we used to do
And this aint real
But I need to feel
That I’m not the only one of us that’s sorry
It was good once
When you were good to me
It was good once
It had to be
It was good once wasn’t it?
And despite the lies that we let slide
And painful memories aside
It was good once
We were good though, weren’t we? (Darling we were so good)
We did good though, didn’t we? (Like I knew that we would)
And at night it went to hell, oh well!
By day we were under the spell
And truth be told, there’s nowhere that I’d rather be
It was good once
(Come on boys, let’s get this party started!)
Movies in the dark
Remind us of a time gone by
And despite the fights we had each night
The things we said that just weren’t right
Nobody can deny it was especially
Good once
And I spent so long forgetting you
Forgot the good things we used to do
And this aint real
But I need to feel
That I’m not the only one of us that’s sorry
It was good once
When you were good to me
It was good once
It had to be
