We used to be happy / So happy
Livin’ on love / And livin’ in sin
Didn’t have two nickels / To rub together
But you were my lover / And my best friend

We went about the thing all wrong
We tried to write it down in stone
This feelin’ comin’ on so strong
Shoulda left well enough alone

I was backstreet / You had a mean streak
With your high black boots / And a stare so cold
I was raw boned / You were head strong
We wouldn’t give in / We wouldn’t grow old

We went about the thing all wrong
We tried to write it down in stone
This feelin’ comin’ on so strong
Shoulda left well enough alone

Bridge
I ain’t leavin’ / you ain’t leavin
Let’s keep this thing together
The old days might be good and gone
These days we know better
