Back When Things Were Good

[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 1]
I remember you and your jet-black hair
Spend a lot of time, but look like you don't care
Said you hated life, and your parents too
But we know that's not true
How did I break through? Now that I look back
Guess it's true that opposites attract
Or was it really that? You didn't wanna see
That you were just like [gold?]

[Pre-Chorus]
Suburban girls with suburban lives
Never seem to realize
That it all just fades away
Tell me, do you

[Chorus]
Remember you told me that you loved me?
I told you things I thought I never could
How could we lie to each other that way?
Back when things were good
[Tell me your life?] on the stereo
We did the things they said we never should
How could we ever hurt each other that way?
Back when things were good

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Back when things were good
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
And you were so retro like Psychedelic Furs
"Pretty In Pink," you taught me every word
And I was more hip-hop, but what can I say?
I'd bump The Chronic for you any day
I wonder where she's at, and how she's doin' now
You said we'd make it work, but we never knew how
She met someone else, and I did too
But if we only knew

[Pre-Chorus]
Suburban girls with suburban lives
Never seem to realize
That it all just fades away
Tell me, do you

[Chorus]
Remember you told me that you loved me?
I told you things I thought I never could
How could we lie to each other that way?
Back when things were good
[Tell me your life?] on the stereo
We did the things they said we never should
How could we ever hurt each other that way?
Back when things were good

[Bridge]
It will never feel the same, like the way it felt back then
You can never make it work, you could never still be friends
Time keeps goin' on, wouldn't change it on
But I still look back now
Sometimes I still look back now

[Chorus]
Remember you told me that you loved me?
I told you things I thought I never could
How could we lie to each other that way?
Back when things were good
[Tell me your life?] on the stereo
We did the things they said we never should
How could we ever hurt each other that way?
Back when things were good

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Back when things were good
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Back when things were good
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Back when things were good
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Back when things were good
