It's All Been Done - Barenaked Ladies

Refer to Billets-Doux, Day 4 - Romantic Fools

I met you before the fall of Rome
And I begged you to let me take you home
You were wrong, I was right
You said goodbye, I said goodnight

It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before

I knew you before the west was won
And I heard you say the past 
was much more fun
You go your way, I'll go mine
But I'll see you next time

It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before

And if I put my fingers here, and if I say
"I love you, dear"
And if I play the same three chords, 
will you just yawn and say
It's all been done before?

Alone and bored on a thirtieth-century night
Will I see you on The Price is Right?
Will I cry?  Will I smile
As you run down the aisle?

It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before
