Back when we had nothing

That was when we had it all

We were so in love, it almost hurt

Now, you're staring at the T.V.

While I'm staring at the wall

And I'm hurting now - for the way we were



Chorus:



I liked it better when we had it bad

When a burning love was all we had

And every time we were apart

There was an aching in our hearts

Now that ain't the way things are

And it's so sad

I liked it better when we had it bad



I don't know how it happens

Why the passion has to fade

Remember when we said it never would

Won't you hold me like you used to

When you took my breath away

'Cause it ain't too late for us to feel that good



(Repeat Chorus twice)



I liked it better when we had it bad
