Lyrics:

Ross wilson, john farnham, and ross fraser



Ive been a fool, I have been cruel

You put your faith in me

Ask myself why, no alibi

Now that youre facing me

Did things my way, Ive had my say

Sometimes I crossed that line

But it seemed like a good idea

Seemed like a good idea at the time



I know I was wrong, Im holding on

Learning is hard to do

Its not too late, if you will wait

Ill make it up to you

If you refuse, then I will lose

I let our life unwind

But it seemed like a good idea

Seemed like a good idea at the time



Seemed like the ring thing

til I watched you go

Seemed like the right thing

But I lost control

Out in the darkness I saw a light

And now I know



A bitter taste has taken the place

Of kisses that were so sweet

Open my eyes, I realise

My lesson is complete

If it aint broke, dont try to fix it

Sometimes I crossed that line



But it seemed like a good idea

Seemed like a good idea at the time

It seemed like a good idea

Seemed like a good idea at the time



Did things my way, Ive had my say

Sometimes I crossed the line

But it seemed like a good idea

Seemed like a good idea at the time



Seemed like a good idea

Seemed like a good idea at the time
