I Loved You lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was a plastic age with plastic tears
A total addiction to the wonder years
"I'm a Believer" was where it's at
Singing oh Lola lady, lay lady lay
Fixing a hole down on Blue Jay Way
American Pie on your Tupperware

[Verse 2]
He paints an Andy-Pandy Campbell's tin
Boys in the jungle on your TV screen
In Tricky di*ky's love machine
We'll take an easy ride and have some fun
On Dylan's Highway 61
In California dreaming sun

[Chorus]
That was when I loved you
I loved you
I loved you
I loved you

[Verse 3]
They 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
Of taking the look from the homeless zone
With digital aids in your telephone
[Verse 4]
Another day in paradise is nice
From Ronnie's 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 wanna break free from your MTV
To virtual reality

[Chorus]
That was when I loved you (From the shadow of the past)
I loved you (Never dreamed that it would last)
I loved you (You gave me joy, you gave me tears)
I loved you (And took away the wonder years)

[Post-Chorus]
I loved you
I loved you

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