If I only coulda realized
Before the memories crystallized
There was something more to a night, I´ll tell you what I know
Everything has got a sacrifice

Even winning is a compromise
If you wanna live a happy life don´t let the good ones go
Unrequited valentines
The best of fruit left on the vine
And all these things I can´t deny, I´m certified

I was big time, wasn´t I?
All these big time people comin´ by
But it was right there all the while
You were my big time
Oh, we were big time
Oh, and where the hell was I
When we were big time?

Only so much time in a day
I mighta thrown a lot of it away
Before I die I know I´ll think about our love, your smile, your way

Absence, lies and alibis
Rented rooms and borrowed time
And all these things I can´t deny, I´m certified

I was big time, wasn´t I?
All these big time people comin´ by
But it was right there all the while
You were my big time
Oh, we were big time
Oh, and where the hell was I
When we were big time?

We were big time, baby
Now you know I know
We were big time, baby
We were big time, baby
Now you know I know
We were big time, baby

We were big time, baby
Now you know I know
We were big time, baby
We were big time, baby
Now you know I know
We were big time, baby
We were big time, baby
Now you know I know
We were big time, baby
