Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I met you before the fall of Rome
And I begged you to let me take you home
You were wrong, I was right (Ooh-la-la-la)
You said goodbye, I said goodnight (Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la, ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
It's all been done (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's all been done (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's all been done before
[Verse 2]
I knew you before the west was won
And I heard you say the past was much more fun
You go your way, I go mine (Ooh-la-la-la)
But I'll see you next time (Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la, ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
It's all been done (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's all been done (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's all been done before
[Bridge]
If I put my fingers here
And if I say, "I love you, dear"
And if I play the same three chords
Will you just yawn and say
Ah, I hate it (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
It's all been done (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's all been done (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's all been done before
[Verse 3]
Alone and bored on a thirtieth-century night
Will I see you on The Price Is Right?
Will I cry? Will I smile? (Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la)
As you run down the aisle? (Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la, ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
It's all been done (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's all been done (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's all been done before (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
It's all been done (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's all been done (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's all been done (Ooh)
[Outro]
It's all been done (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's all been done (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's all been done before
