You Loved Me (and I Loved You) Lyrics

I saw you at first at the edge of the street,
nothing to watch but hundreds of feet,
Eyes met on the corner - the cliche secure,
and somehow it worked and I wasn’t ignored,

You loved me and I loved you,
If that’s how it starts then what else could we do?

The journey was short and the ending so quaint -
a classical story with no sign of taint,
We bounded along with a path we both knew -
never looked back, never saw the review,

You loved me and I loved you,
If that’s how it starts then what else could we do?

So it goes on - we went along -
the stroll through life with you at my side,
For ten more years now we made those plans -
but I got bored with the matter in hand,

Peaceful weeks passed and I liked it -
sofa, TV - delighted! If I knew what was the next step for me
I’d have gone in dignity,

You loved me and I loved you,
If that’s how it starts then what else could we do?

Familiarity bleeds contempt,
previously I didn’t know what that meant,
But now I see where it went wrong -
it just went on too long

You loved me before and I loved you,
but now I need something else to do,

It was the time that passed that ruined what we had,
I couldn’t take much more, I began to the floor,
I just was bored of this - something I had missed,
It was the time to end, we could just be friends,

So I walked out the door - I pretended I’d done it before,
We’ll never see me again - this is really the end!
This is really the end!
My friend, the end!
