I Loved You

It was a plastic age with plastic tears
A total addiction to the wonder years
I'm a believer was where it's at.

Singin', oh Lola lady lay, lady lay
Fixin' a hole down on Blue Jay Way
American Pie on your Tupperware.

Paints an Andy-Pandy, Campbell's tins
Boys in the jungle on your TV screen
In tricky dicky's love machine.

We'll take an easy ride and have some fun
On Dylan's Highway 61
In California dreaming sun.

That was when I loved you
I loved you
I loved you
I love you.

They were the living years of stainless steel
Praying for a time in a fortune wheel
Smooth operator was where it's at.

So, welcome all of you to the pleasure dome
I've takin' the look from the homeless zone
With digital aids in your telephone.

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).

Don't you let the sun go down on me
'Coz I wanna break free from your MTV
To virtual reality.

That was when 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 love you
(And took away the wonder years).

I love you
I love you.

That was when 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 love 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 love you
(And took away the wonder years).
