Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time Songtext
von John Farnham

I′ve been a fool
I have been cruel
You put your faith in me
Ask myself why
No alibi
Now that you're facing me
Did things my way
I′ve had my say
Sometimes I crossed that line

But it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea
At the time


I know I was wrong
I'm holding on
Learning is hard to do
It's not too late
If you will wait
I′ll make it up to you
If you refuse
Then I will lose
I let our life unwind

But it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea
At the time
Yeah, yeah, seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea
At the time

Seemed like the right thing
′Til I watched you go
It seemed like the right thing
But I lost control
Out in the darkness
I saw a light
And now I know


A bitter taste
Has taken the place
Of kisses that were so sweet
Open my eyes
I realise
My lesson is complete
If it ain't broke
Don′t try to fix it
Sometimes I crossed that line

But it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea
At the time
Yeah, yeah, it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea
At the time

Did things my way
I've had my say
Sometimes I crossed that line

But it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea
At the time
Yeah, yeah, seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea
At the time

Whoo, seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea
At the time
Although it seemed like a good idea
(Seemed like a good idea)
At the time

Seemed like a good idea
(Seemed like a good idea)
Seemed like a good idea
At the time
Oh, but it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea
At the time

Yeah, it seemed like a good idea
(Seemed like a good idea) seemed, yeah
At the time
(Seemed like a good idea)
Seemed like a good idea
At the time

Yeah, yeah
Seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea
At the time
