Done Before
Do you ever get the feeling this has all been done beforeAnd the consequences never turn out rightBlinded by the beauty of an ordinary girlYou exaggerate in alcoholic lightThe evening passes by without a shadow of regretBut the ecstasy of feeling loved againIn the morning you'll awake to find her lying by your side And that's how your relationship begins You'll pretend that you are seeing Rocky IV for the first timeAnd laugh at online clips you've seen beforeYou're repeating every step you took for thirteen years or moreCos you never know if she might be the one to rock your worldYou'll consider moving in about a year before you shouldThen nervously resist the urge to askIn public you're the one who'll try to take her by the hand Then try to play it cool when she lets goYou swear that you won't put another girlfriend on a plinthBut already you are picking out the stone And the casual display of this affection never lasts It ends up being done before you knowYou'll pretend it wasn't real when you are lying there alone With The Smiths to keep you comfort through the nightIn a month you're back to trailing all the bars and clubs you knowSongtexteJust hoping that she'll come back in your lifeBut it's a shame you never sawAll the warning lights and dangers of the times that went beforeAnd there's no time to turn it round When surrounded by the pieces that lie broken on the ground Aus Songtexte Mania
