I Don't Think So
Hall And Oates · Marigold Sky [1997]
This time together
All in my mind the love was so alive
Oh I never wanted for another
Than I saw the beginnings of a lie
Good times and the bad times
Through the good times
And the bad times with me
Good times and the bad times
Yeah I wonder why I never see
Good times and the bad times
Oh maybe there was always
Something wrong
Good times and the bad times
Did I wait too long
You said you'd love me
For all of your life
I don't think so
Through the best of the best
And the worst of the times
I don't think so
You said the world was
A beautiful place
I don't think so
You swore the love was perfectly safe
I don't think so
People can only stay together
If in their hearts they know they
Can say what's on their minds
Would you say
Good times and the bad times
If it can't really be
Then I gotta move on
Good times and the bad times
Is it really time
You said you'd love me
For all of your life
I don't think so
Through the best of the best
And the worst of the times
I don't think so
You said the world was
A beautiful place
I don't think so
You swore the love was perfectly safe
I don't think so
Said the check's in the mail
And the mail's on time
I don't think so
Said out of touch ain't out of mind
I don't think so
Couldn't live without me,
And that's a fact
I don't think so
Love is real and it's not an act
I don't think so
Come on
Good times and the bad times
I don't think so
Good times and the bad times
Baby our love was a beautiful thing
I don't think so
Good times and the bad times
You said you'd love me
For all of your life
I don't think so
Good times and the bad times
Through the best of the best
And the worst of times
I don't think so
I don't think so baby oh baby
Oh baby come on
I don't think so
The love was right but
The loving was wrong
