"When We Didn't Get Along" is a ballad song from the episode "It's About Time!". The song describes Perry's feelings after his nemesis, Dr. Doofenshmirtz, stops fighting him in favor of another secret agent.
Lyrics[]
Without your schemes my life, it seems, is empty
I spent all my time keeping you from doing wrong
You were my only nemesis
I'd foil your plans, but still I miss
The moments when we didn't get along
So search your heart, please, Doctor D
And I am sure that you will see
That you were always meant to be
My only lifelong enemy
But now you're doing battle with a panda from Seattle
I miss the moments when we didn't get along
Ooh...

Without your schemes my life, it seems, is empty
I spent all my time keeping you from doing wrong
You were my only nemesis
I'd foil your plans, but still I miss
The moments when we didn't get along
I fell for you the moment that you pushed me
You captured me and held me for so long
But now you're doing battle with a panda from Seattle
I miss the moments when we didn't get along
So search your heart, please, Doctor D
And I am sure that you will see
That you were always meant to be
My only lifelong enemy
You gave my life heroic cause
Back when my only mission was
The moments when we didn't get along
Ooh...
Background Information[]
- This song is likely an allusion to the song "When She Loved Me" from Toy Story 2, including similar melody, lyrics, and some similar movements (such as the shot with Perry being swung in circles).
- This song, as well as Perry's subplot in "It's About Time!", parodies elements of a romance film. The scene in which Doofenshmirtz and Perry run towards each other on a beach in slow motion makes a reference to romance films, except for the fact that while such scenes in a romance film will end up with passionate moments, Perry punches the doctor in the face when he comes into Perry's reach.
- This is the first song sung from Perry's POV. The second is "I Walk Away" and the third is "Heck of a Day".
- The song shows some clips from previous episodes.
- In Spain, this song is named "It's About Time" and the "now you're doing better..." is in the place of "back when my heroic mission was..." for unknown reasons.
- A brief portion of this song's instrumental is heard in the Milo Murphy's Law episode "Adventure Buddies".
