lyrics

We spent time together
In all kinds of weather, rain or shine
In that time i never
Thought there’d be a day when you weren’t mine

Well I gave
Everything
That you asked for
Gave my love
And my life
All to you
It wasn’t enough
For your love

Ya thought you were clever
Acted like you were better than me
Seems you lost all respect
Right when you got your PhD

Well I stayed
All those days
And I waited
Gave my time
And my mind
All to you
It wasn’t enough
For your love

Then came a post doc
And the long distance life again
Should’ve known better
When you gave me up for your research friends

Well I drove
All of those
Years I waited
All those miles
Just for smiles
To be with you
It wasn’t enough
For your love

Then you were a professor
Far too important to have lunch with me
Stopped sharing your ideas
But ya had all that time to spend with Julie

Well I gave everything that you wished for
Gave my hopes and my dreams all to you
It wasn’t enough
For you to stay true
It wasn’t enough
For your love
