Lyrics

Now please don't you think baby that I'm on the road to crime, yeah
You loved me, too
So how come you just sit there and laugh
And laugh and laugh and laugh ?
Things just happen this way
Not for very long
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no
Our love affair said it's just history

And I attempted to love you in my own way
I think that you know I did
But to have you here, to see you living
Oh so near to me, yeah
Oh but you're long distance and so it's still
And so often people are glad to be old, but now now
Our love affair, yes it's just history, yes it is

Once in a green time a flower
Oh, fell in love with the sun
Their passion lasted for an hour
And then she wilted, come on, lover!

Once in a green time a flower
Oh, fell in love with the sun
Their passion lasted for an hour
And then she wilted, come on, lover!

Did I see you looking up at the sky ? up high, yeah
You wonder if there is, whoa, another means
Now how can it be, how can it be ?
Well, I said and I asked you, why all this ?
I just got to know now now now now now now
Our love affair, yes it's just a history
But baby, baby, I said it's over, child
I can't stand it any long-long-longer
You left me too lonely now

It's over baby
Where were you when I wanted you
I needed you right by my side ?
I said-a, baby, baby, don't you hear me crying
Oh baby, oh baby, don't you feel me moving ?
I know I hurt you, you hurt me too, you know
Oh baby, oh baby, don't you know I tried
Oh baby, oh babe
