Take your time, tell me slow
Should I stay?
And we both know you thought you knew what I was just about to say
But you didn’t know, and you always think you do
I’ll tell you, I been looking back over my shoulder
It’s not you that I’ve got to blame
If I could do this all over, I wouldn’t do nothing the same

[Chorus]
It seemed like the right thing at the time
It seemed like the right thing at the time

I try to remember, it helps me forget
The older I get
The older I get, the more I worry
That the more I worry, the older I get and yet, I still worry
Ain’t that about a son of a bitch, I tell you
Some people can’t take no for an answer
Some people can’t even take yes for an answer
I can’t say for sure how I end up here, but if I had to guess, I guess

[Chorus]
It seemed like the right thing at the time
It seemed like the right thing at the time

Tryin’ to find some kinda way to cope
You’ve got to admit
It ain’t the despair that gets you, it’s the hope
When I found myself in possession of these car keys
I just naturally assumed that I could drive
[Chorus]
It seemed like the right thing at the time
It seemed like the right thing at the time
