I Loved You

It was a plastic age with plastic tears
A total addiction to the wonder years
I'm a believer was where it's at
He's singing oh Lola lady lay, lady lay
She's fixing a hole down on Blue Jay Way
American Pie on you Tupperware
He paints an Andy-Pandy Campbell's tins
Boys in the jungle on your TV screen in tricky dicky's love machine
We'll take an easy ride and have some fun
On Dylan's Highway 61 in California dreaming sun

That was when I loved you, I loved you…

They were living years of stainless steel
Praying for time in a fortune wheel
Smooth operator was where it's at

So welcome to the pleasure dome
Of taking the look from the homeless zone
With digital aids in your telephone

So don't you let the sun go down on me
Cause I wanna break free from your MTV to virtual reality

Another day in paradise is nice
From Ronnie's recession's nice advice
Cause UB40' ice is vice

I loved you from the shadow of the past
I loved you
I never dreamed that it would last
I love you
You gave me joy, you gave me tears

I loved you
And took away the wonder years
