| Here’s the decline, the ballad of you and I
|
| We wrote the first verse, you crossed out the middle eight
|
| The rise and the fall of our own little empire
|
| Where you play the conqueror, and I was the overcome
|
| I was the overcome (La, la, la, la, la, la, la)
|
| I was the overcome (La, la, la, la, la, la, la)
|
| I was the overcome
|
| I’ll be your doormat, be trampled all over
|
| I’ll be alone like a sad little loner
|
| If this is our song then you’re the composer
|
| I’m not a game but you’ll play me anyway
|
| You’ll play me anyway (La, la, la, la, la, la, la)
|
| You’ll play me anyway (La, la, la, la, la, la, la)
|
| You’ll play me anyway
|
| I know when I’m right
|
| I’m never wrong
|
| I know when I’m right
|
| I’m never wrong
|
| So long sails a ship, of me plus you
|
| I’ll man the ropes, you hoist the anchor
|
| You try to tell me, I’m better off without you
|
| And your just a burden, but that’s so untrue
|
| The ballad of you and I
|
| The ballad of you and I
|
| The ballad of you and I
|
| I know when I’m right
|
| I’m never wrong
|
| I know when I’m right
|
| I’m never wrong
|
| Now, I don’t want you
|
| It’s my own divide and conquer
|
| The grass is always greener
|
| The grass is always greener
|
| The grass is always greener (the ballad of you and I)
|
| The grass is always greener (the ballad of you and I)
|
| The grass is always greener (the ballad of you and I)
|
| The grass is always greener
|
| -I, the ballad of you and I
|
| The ballad of you and I
|
| The ballad of you and I |
