Something Happened on the Way to Here Songtext
von Phil Collins

We had our life, we had our love
But you don′t know what you've got ′til you lose it
Well, that was then and this is now
And I want you back, how many times can I say I'm sorry?
(How many times?)
Yes, I'm sorry

How can something so good go so bad?
How can something so right go so wrong?
Well, I don′t know, I don′t have all the answers
And I want you back, how many times can I say I'm sorry?
(How many times?)

Well, you know you can run and you can hide
But I′m not leaving unless you come with me
We've had our problems, but I′m on your side
You're all I need, please, believe in me
Oh, yeah


I only wanted someone to love
But something happened on the way to Heaven
It got a hold of me, and wouldn′t let go
And I want you back, how many times can I say I'm sorry?
(How many times?)
Yes, I'm sorry (sorry)

Well, you know you can run and you can hide
But I′m not leaving ′less you come with me
We've had our problems, but I′m on your side
You're all I need, please, believe me

You can run and you can hide
But I′m not leaving 'til it′s all over
We've had our problems, but I'm on your side
You′re all I need, let me show you

They say you can′t take it with you when you go
And I believe it
But taking what I've got or being here with you
You know I, I′d rather leave it
We had our life, we had our love
But you don't know what you′ve got 'til you lose it
Well, that was then, this is now, and I want you back
How many times can I say I′m sorry?
(How many times?)
Yes, I'm sorry (yes, I'm sorry)


Well, you know you can run and you can hide
But I′m not leaving unless you come with me
We′ve had our problems, but I'm on your side
You′re all I need, please, believe me

You can run and you can hide
But I'm not leaving ′til it's all over
We′ve had our problems, but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please, believe in me
