Now I had the time of my life
No, I never felt like this before
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you

I been waiting for so long
Now I finally found someone to stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy

Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each others hand
'Cause we seem to understand the urgency

Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love

Because I had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

Hey, baby

With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control, no

Yes, I know what's on your mind when you say
"Stay with me tonight" (stay with me)
And remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love

Because I had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before
Yes, I swear it's the truth (yes, I swear)
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door (never felt this way)
'Til I found the truth
And I owe it all to you

Now I (I) had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before (never felt this way)
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

I had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before (never felt this way)
Yes, I swear it's the truth (it's the truth)
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I had the time of my life (I had time of my life)
Searched through every open door (you do it to me, baby)
'Til I found the truth (you do it to me, baby)
And I owe it all to you

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
