I Loved You

It was a plastic age with plastic tears
Total addiction to the wonder years
I'm a believer, was where it's at
Singing oh lay dee lay, lay dee lay
Fixing a hole down on bluejay way
American pie and a tupperware

Things in handy pandy, Campbell's tin
Boys in the jungle on your TV screen
Tricky Dicky's love machine
Take an easy ride and have some fun
Dylan's highway 61
California dreaming son

That was when I loved you
I loved you
And I loved you
I loved you

There were the living years of stainless steel
Praying for time in a fortune wheel
Smooth operator was where it's at
So welcome all of you to the pleasure dome
And taking a look from the homeless zone
With digital aids and your telephone

Another day in paradise is nice
A running recession's nice advice
(We suffer from the longest and one of the worst
Sustained inflations in our national history)
So don't you let the sun go down on me
'Cause I want to break free from your MTV
To virtual reality

That was when I loved you
(I found the shadow of the past)
I loved you
(I never dreamed that it would last)
And I loved you
(You gave me joy, you gave me tears)
I loved you
(But took away the wonder years)
I loved you
I loved you
That was when I loved you
(I found the shadow of the past)
I loved you
(I never dreamed that it would last)
And I loved you
(You gave me joy, you gave me tears)
I loved you
(But took away the wonder years)
And I loved you
(I found the shadow of the past)
I loved you
(I never dreamed that it would last)
And I loved you
(You gave me joy, you gave me tears)
I loved you
(But took away the wonder years)

(But took away the wonder years)
