Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time Lyrics - Farnham John

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 

Seemed like the right thing 

Till I watched you go 

Seemed like the right thing 

Till 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 

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 

Seemed like a good idea 

Seemed like a good idea at the time...
