Lyrics
There have been other people in your life
You have had other lovers, so have I
You have talked very sweetly
You have felt very deeply
You have shared many stories
With the ones who came before me
There have been other people in your life
Did you change theirs the way that you changed mine?
And without them, anyhow
Would you be who you are now
And would you even want me
In your life?
But in the greater scheme of things
Just think of all the might-have-beens
There is no you, there is no me
When set against eternity
And jealousy is just an urge
To rule over the universe
It is worthless and destructive
And always counterproductive
There have been other people in your life
You have had other lovers, so have I
And, eh, blah blah blah
You have had other lovers, so have I
You have talked very sweetly
You have felt very deeply
You have shared many stories
With the ones who came before me
There have been other people in your life
Did you change theirs the way that you changed mine?
And without them, anyhow
Would you be who you are now
And would you even want me
In your life?
But in the greater scheme of things
Just think of all the might-have-beens
There is no you, there is no me
When set against eternity
And jealousy is just an urge
To rule over the universe
It is worthless and destructive
And always counterproductive
There have been other people in your life
You have had other lovers, so have I
And, eh, blah blah blah
