About

It’s All Been Done was the second track and a single from BNL’s hit album Stunt. Page wrote the song inspired from their earlier song “Brian Wilson”. He thought the song was too “wordy” and wanted a simpler chorus with catchy lyrics.

It’s All Been Done Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I met you before the fall of Rome
And I begged you to let me take you home
You were wrong, I was right
You said goodbye, I said goodnight

[Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) It's all been done
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) It's all been done
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) It's all been done before

[Verse 2]
I knew you before the west was won
And I heard you say the past was much more fun
You go your way, I go mine
But I'll see you next time

[Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) It's all been done
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) It's all been done
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) It's all been done before

[Bridge]
And if I put my fingers here
And if I say, "I love you, dear"
And if I play the same three chords
Will you just yawn and say
'Ah, I hate it'

[Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) It's all been done
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) It's all been done
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) It's all been done before

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Alone and bored on a thirtieth-century night
Will I see you on The Price Is Right?
Will I cry? Will I smile?
As you run down the aisle?

[Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) It's all been done
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) It's all been done
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) It's all been done before
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) It's all been done
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) It's all been done
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) It's all been done
(Ooh) It's all been done
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) It's all been done
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) It's all been done before
