[Intro:]
Huh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Huh-uh-uh-uh-uh
(Wo-ho-wo-ho-oh)
Uh, yeah
[Verse 1:]
A lot of tears a lot of hate there it goes all the magic
But that's alright
And it's her on the phone
Pretending everything is just tragic
It's just tragic
I've been counting the years
Trying to fake my way all around it
And get along (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Get along)
[Chorus 1:]
But she was great when she was great (Ah, ah)
She was great when she was great (Yeah)
[Verse 2:]
I remember the kick
1956 was just magic
And came undone
Watch him yearning for the throne
Back in '69 with a habit
But that's alright (But that's alright)
It was alright
(Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh)
[Chorus 2:]
'cause she was great when he was great
'cause he was great when he was great (Ho-ha-ha-ah)
'cause she was great when he was great (Mnnh)
'cause he was great when he was great (Wa-uh-ah)
[Bridge:]
Huh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Huh-uh
Huh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Ho-ho-ho
Oh, yeah
(C'mon)
Huh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Huh-uh
Huh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Ho-ho-ho
Oh, yeah
(Au!)
[Verse 2:]
But then again you got me wrong
'cause you don't have to worry
What's on my mind
I've been staring at the clock
Waiting to be part of the magic
Yeah it's magic (Oh)
I guess at least I got a place to be (what?)
In between a shot and a dream
[Chorus 3:]
But we were great when we were great (Woh!)
But we were great when we were great (Ha, Ha-ah-ah)
She was great when she was great (Uh)
And he was great when he was great (Come on, come on, come on)
(Woh-woh)
[Outro:]
Huh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Huh-uh
Huh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Ho-ho-ho
Oh, yeah
