I thought I needed silence But it seems like I was wrong Instead one day I just sat down And wrote myself this song Should it be about my life again From when I was still young Or, could it be more truthful About everything Iv'e done I just wanted a good time Was that too much to ask What's wrong with a good time And why should it not last There was good and bad, good mostly That's what I like to remember But then there were those selfish times Like late in that December It was him or her My head just kept spinning Was this the start, or the end Of a new beginning Did I choose right Or, did I choose wrong Torn between vices That helped me move along I just wanted a good time Was that too much to ask What's wrong with a good time And why should it not last Thinking only of me Is what I do best Releasing a dead weight That always lyes on my chest Finding a way out For what I have done Passing my faults on That's what I've become And then there were children My life so full of children Used like the rest To suit me for the best I just wanted a good time Was that too much to ask What's wrong with a good time And why shouldn it not last It's the way that I live still But this feeling's not so great I can see where I go wrong But I'm leaving it all too late And so I'm here as I started Still sitting alone Wasting all of my chances Where have those good times flown And so I'm here as I started I'm still sitting alone Wasting all of my chances Where have those good times flown I just wanted a good time Was that too much to ask What's wrong with a good time The good times never last The good times never last The good times never last Those good times they don't last
