Once, we were young, we had no plans, what simplicity of love
We used to get it, to get it all, we weren’t scared to fail or fall
Now, all I can do is to stand and watch those new boys in the game,
How they’re laughing and having fun, making rules under the sun
(Chorus)
I won’t win her pretty eyes tonight
It’s been so long since I played it right
I’ll get to Jupiter and halfway back
Before she’ll even notice I’m around
You used to call me the city queen, but now God’s playing his jokes on me,
I’m all alone, far from the scene; I got no room, no time for dreams
(Chorus)
I won’t win her pretty eyes tonight
It’s been so long since I played it right
I’ll get to Jupiter and halfway back
Before she’ll even notice I’m around
Once, we were young, we had no plans, what simplicity of love
We used to get it, to get it all, we had no time to fail and fall
(Chorus)
I won’t win at pretty eyes tonight
It’s been so long since I played it right
I’ll get to Jupiter and halfway back
Before she’ll even notice I’m around
