I loved a time or two
Before I fell in love with you
But, baby, that's ancient history
I held others through the night
And, at the time, it all seemed right
But, darlin, that's ancient history
Just like Napoleon, they met their Waterloo
I was just rehearsing for the day when I'd find you
The time before you came and started loving me
Baby, that's ancient history
You gave your heart away
More than once, it's safe to say
But, baby, that's ancient history
And you kissed other lips than mine
Another place, some other time
But, darlin, that's ancient history
Just like the Roman Empire, it wasn't meant to last
Let's think about the future... it's too late to change the past
The time before you came and started loving me
Baby, that's ancient history
Yes darlin' that's ancient history
