The Mamas & The Papas — Once Was a Time I Thought

Once was a time I thought that love could be sold or bought And everything fell in place for me The fashion of passion I rationed with caution Because of the notion the potion of passion Had never been passed to me But since it was Sunday and sunny I went for a stroll But peanuts and pigeons and people put me in a hole A blessing refreshing in you did unfold Dispelling depressing distressing thoughts from my soul Once was a time I thought that love could be sold or bought And everything fell in place for me The fashion of passion I rationed with caution Because of the notion the potion of passion Had never been passed to me But now with you by my side I find that I feel so satisfied Somebody must have lied to me
