That Was Then and This Is Now

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Another trophy on my shelf Another scalp hanging from my belt Another notch carved into my gun That was my idea of a whole lot of fun She had other ideas Expressed to me through a veil of tears Ordinarily I wouldn't give in But she's getting under my skin, ooohhh [Chorus] First I wanted in Then I wanted out That's what life was all about First I wanted in Then I wanted out Said that was then but this is now That was then but this is now Oh-oh-baby That was then but this is now [Verse 2] Boys'n'girls are meetin' on a Friday night To get acquainted if the time is right It's all about the thrill of victory And not the agony of repeat She thought there was lovе involved But I was only up to have a ball Ordinarily I wouldn't have carеd But I got used to having here there [Chorus] First I wanted in Then I wanted out That's what life was all about First I wanted in Then I wanted out That was then but this is now [Post-Chorus] That was then, but this is now That was then, but this is now, baby That was then, but this is now That was then! That was then, this is now [Instrumental] [Verse 3] It's an attraction like the birds and bees It's satisfaction that everybody needs But what's a feelin' if the feelin' ain't real You need some lovin' to seal the deal Ordinarily, it's not that way I'm amazing oh what can I say? [Chorus] First I wanted in Then I wanted out That's what life was all about First I wanted in (Oh yeah) Then I wanted out That was then but this is now First I wanted in Then I wanted out Yes I did, yes I did That's what life was all about First I wanted in Then I wanted out That was then But this is right now baby [Post-Chorus] That was then But this is now That was then But this is now, baby That was then This is now That was then But this is now That was then This is now That was then But this is now, baby That was then This is now This is now, said baby this is now That was then This is now That was then This is now Talking bout this is now Not back in the days (That was then This is now) I don't wanna play yeah, yeah (This is now)
