Lyrics - Seemed Like a Good Idea by John Farnham

Ross wilson, john farnham, and ross fraser
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 ring thing’til
I watched you go
Seemed like the right thing
But
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
It 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 the 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
