There was a time when all kinds of women wanted to sleep with me
 There were young ones and old ones and shy
 ones and bold ones and I always got it for free
 (I thought...)
 Ah, but where are they now, they're walking right past me
 On the lookout for much younger men
 I'm not even there,
 of me they're unaware, and I want that all over again
 There was a time when all of my
 children obeyed and were afraid of me (I bet...)
 Through good times and bad ones and angry
 and sad ones I had them bendin' up on my knee
 (I thought...)
 Ah, but where are they now, I never see 'em
 They didn't need me that much in the end
 I suppose that it's fair,
 they don't seem to care, but I want that all over again
 There was a time I didn't have any
 power, yet the world was an oyster to me
 No short days, just long ones, right times,
 no wrong ones, happy as a clam or a kid can be
 Ah, but where am I now,
 far away from all that, golden time when I was just 10
 10 years old!
 It doesn't seem fair,
 I can't get back there, to have it all over again
 I'm well aware I can't get back there to live it all over again
 Suppose then it's fair I can't go back there to have it all over again
 But there was a time
 There was a time
 There was a time
