emancipation

'bout the time – the time we were happy
‘bout the time – the time is now
'bout the time – the time we were happy
‘bout the time – the time is now
'cause I don’t have – to listen to you no more
and all ya have to say
how I was
oh-so cruel to you
how my tenderness has gone away
‘bout the time – the time we were happy
‘bout the time – the time is now

Thoughts in mind – visions of spawnin’
Thoughts in mind – when I was yours 
Thoughts of mine – elude you always
Thoughts in mind – became yours too
When we’re having a conversation
A translation is all you get
Smokey cloud makin’ you so proud
Of your knowledge, soul and wit
‘bout the time – the time we were happy
‘bout the time – the time is now

One time -- & one time only
did ya feel like my girlfriend
One time -- & one time only
was I even attracted to you
shudda worked out oh-so beautifully
‘cept for this one small thing
details are the smallest, biggest things
Fact is that I hated you
‘bout the time – the time we were happy
‘bout the time – the time is now
