IT WASN'T SUCH A LONG TIME AGO
WHEN YOU SAID "I LOVE YOU SO"
WASN'T SUCH A LONG LONG TIME AGO YOU SAID
"I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU GO"

WASN'T SUCH A LONG TIME AGO
YOU SAID "I'LL LOVE YOU FOR LIFE"
WASN'T SUCH A LONG LONG TIME AGO YOU SAID
"YES I WANT TO BE YOUR WIFE"

ALWAYS FIGURED
THAT YOU'D BE HANGING AROUND BABY
ALWAYS COUNTED YOU
RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY NEXT MOVE
HOW WAS I TO KNOW THAT ONE NIGHT
YOU'D WALK OUT OF THE SHADOWS GIRL
HOW WAS I TO KNOW THE CHANGES
YOU COULD PUT ME THROUGH

IT WASN'T SUCH A LONG TIME AGO
WHEN YOU SAID "I NEED YOU SO"
WASN'T SUCH A LONG LONG TIME AGO YOU SAID
"THE FIRE WON'T BURN LOW"

WASN'T SUCH A LONG TIME AGO
WHEN YOU SAID "OUR LOVE WON'T END"
WASN'T SUCH A LONG LONG TIME AGO YOU SAID
"YES I AM YOUR BEST FRIEND"

ALWAYS FIGURED
THAT YOU'D BE HANGING AROUND BABY
ALWAYS COUNTED YOU
RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY NEXT MOVE
HOW WAS I TO KNOW THAT ONE NIGHT
YOU'D LIGHT OUT OF THE SHADOWS GIRL
HOW WAS I TO KNOW THE CHANGES
YOU COULD PUT ME THROUGH

TOO MANY LIES BEEN TOLD
TOO MANY TALES SPREAD 'ROUND
TOO MANY TIMES YOU BUILD ME UP
JUST TO BRING ME DOWN, DOWN
ONLY ONE THING THAT THIS BROKEN MAN CAN SAY
I CAN'T TAKE IT NO MORE
THESE GAMES I WILL NOT PLAY

I ALWAYS FIGURED
THAT YOU'D BE HANGING AROUND BABY
ALWAYS COUNTED YOU
RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY NEXT MOVE
HOW WAS I TO KNOW ONE NIGHT
YOU'D RUN OUT OF THE SHADOWS GIRL
HOW WAS I TO KNOW THE CHANGES
YOU COULD PUT ME THROUGH

IT WASN'T SUCH A LONG TIME AGO
WHEN YOU SAID "I LOVE YOU SO"
WASN'T SUCH A LONG LONG TIME AGO
YOU SAID "I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU GO"

WASN'T SUCH A LONG TIME AGO
YOU SAID "I'LL LOVE YOU FOR LIFE"
WASN'T SUCH A LONG LONG TIME AGO YOU SAID
"YES I WANT TO BE YOUR WIFE"

ALWAYS FIGURED
THAT YOU'D BE HANGING AROUND BABY
ALWAYS COUNTED YOU RIGHT SMACK DAB
IN THE MIDDLE OF MY NEXT MOVE
HOW WAS I TO KNOW THAT ONE NIGHT
YOU'D STEP OUT OF THE SHADOWS GIRL
HOW WAS I TO KNOW THE CHANGES
YOU COULD PUT ME THROUGH
OOH OOH WHAT COULD WE DO
