Jam - I Got By In Time lyrics

Album: In The City (1977)

Saw a girl that I used to know
I was deep in thought at the time
To recognise the face at 1st
´Cause I was probably looking at mine
Well she was the only girl I have ever loved
But my folks didn´t dig her so much
I was young
This is serious
To me she was the world (she was my world now)
I thought I would never live without her,
But I got by in time

Well let me tell you now,
Saw a guy that I used to know
Man he would changed so much
I think it hurt him to say ´hello´,
´Cause he hardly opened his mouth
Yea well he was my best friend a few yeahrs ago
Truly inseperable

We were young
We were full of ideals
We were going to pull this whole world
But smth happened
I did not know why
But that is the way that it goes.

I suppose,
What you say - what you do
Don´t mean nothing, nothing at all
And all the bonds you make between ya
Can be broken any time you want now
Please tell me if my philosophy´s wrong
I have got to know the truth
I do not mean to offend anyone but,
You know it is smth that I do, oh-

So nice to see you tonight,
And I am so glad that you came
Some of the people standing outside, say
Sure feel the same
Yea my point is in a round about way
Given time he will always forget
´Cause the memories
That ... me on
To me everything (you are everything now)
And it always will be mine, yea
And no one can take them away
