After All This Time Songtext
von Joe Jackson

It′s a crying shame, what you did to me
I know who's to blame, though you won′t agree
Sounds like the start of yet another sad refrain
Another link in yet another broken chain

It's a sad affair, what I did to you
If you even care, if it's even true
It seems like breaking up is never hard to do
Why should it be so different for me and you?

After all this time
Maybe we should stick together
After all this time
Break the law and start forever now


It′s a can of worms that we opened here
And the world just turns, and nothing gets more clear
Why does this seem like somewhere that I′ve been before?
Some kind of game of who can love or hate who more

It's a sack of woe, and we stuffed it full
Someone has to go, seems to be the rule
Now we′ve used every cliché in the book
Must be some other road that we never took

After all this time
Maybe we should stick together
After all this time
Break the law and after all this

After all this time
Maybe we should stick together
After all this time
Break the law and start forever now
