Song Lyrics
Ross Wilson, John Farnham, and Ross Fraser
I`ve been a fool, I have been cruel
You put your faith in me
Ask myself why, no alibi
Now that you`re facing me
Did things my way, I`ve 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, I`m holding on
Learning is hard to do
It`s not too late, if you will wait
I`ll 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 ain`t broke, don`t 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, I`ve 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

This remix is based on the original John Farnham song:
