I Had It All When I Had You
Looking back there isn't much in life that I regret
My memories warp in playback like an obsolete cassette
And yet here's my confession at the risk of sounding blue
I had it all when I had you
When it comes to blessings I've had more than my fair share
I got away with things that other people wouldn't dare
And yet there's one expression that I'll always hold as true
I had it all when I had you
I had empty pockets and crippling debt
A disease so new they hadn't named it yet
I had heartache and woe, and a bout of vertigo,
And anguish as wide as the Gulf of Mexico
I had library books a decade overdue,
I had it all when I had you
I had bed bugs and dead slugs and something in the drain
That would caterwaul and wail every time it rained
I had warrants out for my arrest and a rap sheet this long
And a monkey on my back as heavy as King Kong
I had water in the crankcase and some oily residue
I had it all when I had you
I had horrifying nightmares and a radiator leak
A hairstyle dating back to the Ancient Greek
I had problems with the government and the IRS
A trailer home the bank refused to repossess
I had delusions of grandeur and déjà vu
An army of fire ants in my barbecue
A hole in my roof where vampire bats got through
I had it all, I had it all
I had it all when I had you
My memories warp in playback like an obsolete cassette
And yet here's my confession at the risk of sounding blue
I had it all when I had you
When it comes to blessings I've had more than my fair share
I got away with things that other people wouldn't dare
And yet there's one expression that I'll always hold as true
I had it all when I had you
I had empty pockets and crippling debt
A disease so new they hadn't named it yet
I had heartache and woe, and a bout of vertigo,
And anguish as wide as the Gulf of Mexico
I had library books a decade overdue,
I had it all when I had you
I had bed bugs and dead slugs and something in the drain
That would caterwaul and wail every time it rained
I had warrants out for my arrest and a rap sheet this long
And a monkey on my back as heavy as King Kong
I had water in the crankcase and some oily residue
I had it all when I had you
I had horrifying nightmares and a radiator leak
A hairstyle dating back to the Ancient Greek
I had problems with the government and the IRS
A trailer home the bank refused to repossess
I had delusions of grandeur and déjà vu
An army of fire ants in my barbecue
A hole in my roof where vampire bats got through
I had it all, I had it all
I had it all when I had you
