"She Was Great" lyrics

A lot of tears a lot of hate there it goes all the magic
But that's alright
And it's her on the phone
Pretending everything is just tragic
It's just tragic
I've been counting the years
Trying to fake my way all around it
And get along

But she was great when she was great
She was great when she was great

I remember the kick
1956 was just magic
And came undone
Watch him yearning for the throne
Back in '69 with a habit
But that's alright (that's alright)

Cause he was great when he was great
Cause he was great when he was great
Cause he was great when he was great
Cause he was great when he was great

But then again you got me wrong
'Cause you don't have to worry
What's on my mind
I've been staring at the clock
Waiting to be part of the magic
Yeah it's magic
I guess at least I got a place to be
In between a shot and a dream

But we were great when we were great
But we were great when we were great
She was great when she was great
And he was great when he was great
(Come on come on come on)
