[Verse 1]
I have told you once, now you should know
The reason that I am coming down
There is no time to repeat again
Just need to bring it around

[Chorus]
We had a beautiful thing going
You could not see things my way
We had a beautiful thing going
Something just got in our way

[Verse 2]
And I told you once that it was rough
I looked on you as my friend
Because that did not seem to be good enough
And now it is time to begin

[Chorus][x2]
