There was a time your mama tried the best she could
To satisty a cloud day
You cast away, you didn't even say goodbye
There was a time you spilled line wine
You didn't care to live or die

Now you're turning back your back all around
You've come a long way, baby
Oh yes you've had your thrill at it all
You've come a long way, baby
Don't get caught by the thrill of it all again

There was a time you spent your nights
A different place,different guy
Amphetamines and benzedrine are friends
Of yours all the time
There was a time a petty crime
You didn't stop to reason why

Now you're turning back your back all around
You've come a long way,baby
Oh yes you've had your thrill at it all
You've come a long way,baby
Don't get caught by the thrill of it all again

There was a time your talks would hide
The things they thought would bend your mind
And you became a closet case
You kept yourself locked inside
There was a time within your mind
What was wrong was always right

Now you're turning back your back all around
You've come a long way, baby
Oh yes you've had your thrill at it all
You've come a long way, baby
Don't get caught by the thrill of it all again

Ah yes you've had your thrill of it all
You've come a long way, baby
Don't get caught by the thrill of it all
You've come a long way, baby
