I Got By In Time

Saw a girl that i used to know

I was deep in thought at the time

To recognise the face at first

'cause i was probably looking at mine

Well she was the only girl i've ever loved

But my folks didn't dig her so much

I was young

This is serious

To me she was the world (she was my world now)

I thought i'd never live without her,

But i got by in time

Well let me tell you now,

Saw a guy that i used to know

Man he'd changed so much

I think it hurt him to say 'hello',

'cause he hardly opened his mouth

Yeah well he was my best friend a few years ago

Truly inseperable

We were young

We were full of ideals

We were gonna pull this whole world

But something happened

I didn't know why

But that's the way that it goes.

I suppose,

What you say - what you do

Don't mean nothing, nothing at all

And all the bonds you make between ya

Can be broken any time you want now

Please tell me if my philosophy's wrong

I've got to know the truth

I don't mean to offend anyone but,

You know it's something that i do, oh-

So nice to see you tonight,

And i'm so glad that you came

Some of the people standing outside, say

Sure feel the same

Yeah my point is in a round about way

Given time he'll always forget

'cause the memories

That ... me on

To me everything (you're everything now)

And it always will be mine, yeah

And no one can take them away
