JAM - I Got By In Time lyrics

rate me

Saw a girl that I used to know<br>I was deep in thought at the time<br>To recognise the face at first<br>'cause I was probably looking at mine<br>Well she was the only girl I've ever loved<br>But my folks didn't dig her so much<br>I was young<br>This is serious<br>To me she was the world (she was my world now)<br>I thought I'd never live without her,<br>But I got by in time<br>Well let me tell you now,<br>Saw a guy that I used to know<br>Man he'd changed so much<br>I think it hurt him to say 'hello',<br>'cause he hardly opened his mouth<br>Yeah well he was my best friend a few years ago<br>Truly inseperable<br>We were young<br>We were full of ideals<br>We were gonna pull this whole world<br>But something happened<br>I didn't know why<br>But that's the way that it goes.<br>I suppose,<br>What you say - what you do<br>Don't mean nothing, nothing at all<br>And all the bonds you make between ya<br>Can be broken any time you want now<br>Please tell me if my philosophy's wrong<br>I've got to know the truth<br>I don't mean to offend anyone but,<br>You know it's something that I do, oh-<br>So nice to see you tonight,<br>And I'm so glad that you came<br>Some of the people standing outside, say<br>Sure feel the same<br>Yeah my point is in a round about way<br>Given time he'll always forget<br>'cause the memories<br>That ... me on<br>To me everything (you're everything now)<br>And it always will be mine, yeah<br>And no one can take them away
