Once upon a time
We were a unit, we were a pair
But it’s like it’s all over now, darling
It’s all out in the open
No more hiding, no more lies
And no more disappointments
Everything’s out in the open, yeah
There is nothing left to hide, hmm
I thought we had a Garden of Eden
And we did before he came along
Before the fruits in the midst of his garden
Became the fruits that turned you on
Before God, we were joined together
Before a judge, we were taken apart
Before I would deliver the papers
You and him had made a brand new start
Everything’s out in the open, yeah
There is nothing left to hide
All the vows have been broken
But I feel the same way inside
You see, just like Adam
You were my Eve
The only girl in the world for me
And just like that old story
Once again, you’ve been deceived
Before God, we were joined together
Before a judge, we were taken apart
Before I would deliver the papers
You and him had made a brand new start
Everything’s out in the open, yeah
And there’s nothing left to hide
All the vows have been broken
And I feel the same way inside
Everything’s out in the open, open, open
Well, and there’s nothing left to hide
But all the vows have been broken
And I feel the same way inside
Everything’s out in the open
