The Way We Were

[Intro]
Hmm-hmm
Hm-hm-hmm, hm-hm-hm-hmm
Hm-hm-hm, hm-mm, hm, mmm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mmm

[Verse 1]
Mm-mm-memories
Line the coffers of my wealth
Greedy thoughts of former empire
and the way we were

[Verse 2]
Occupation
Former bases left behind
Fights we had with one another
For the way we were

[Bridge]
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or are we too weak to do it now?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?

[Verse 3]
Memories
May be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We lie and hope others forget
But it's the booty
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were

[Outro]
Hmm-hmm
Hm-hm-hmm, hm-hm-hm-hmm
Hm-hm-hm, hm-mm, hmm
