She seems so cold to me And I remember when I loved her She seems so cold to me But I remember when I loved her Now we are strange No more in love But I still wish that I could hold her My dream of love has gone And I remember when I loved her Now we are strange No more in love But I still wish that I could hold her My dream of love has gone And I remember when I loved her When I loved her When I loved her

Well, she didn't look as pretty as some others I have known And she wasn't good at conversation when we were alone But she had a way of making me believe that I belonged And it felt like coming home ... when I found her 'Cause she seemed to be so proud of me just walking holding hands And she didn't think that money was the measure of a man And we seemed to fit together when I held her in my arms And it left me feeling warm ... when I loved her 'Cause she brightened up the day like the early morning sun And she made what I was doing seem worthwhile It's the closest thing to living that I guess I've ever known And it made me want to smile ... when I loved her I know some of us were born to cast our fortune to the winds And I guess I'm bound to travel down a road that never ends But I know I'll never look upon the likes of her again And I'll never understand ... why I lost her

When she walked in, I held my breath I thought I might just die When she came my way and she caught my eye I felt like I could cry 'Cause I never seen a room light up like that And I never felt time stand still And I didn't know a man could fall so hard At least not until I saw her for the first time And I was lonely for the last time I saw her for the first time And now I know I gotta make her mine When she walked in, my head did spin My jaw just hit the ground Stopped in my tracks like a heart attack What beauty so profound 'Cause I never seen a room light up like that And I never felt time stand still And I didn't know a man could fall so fast At least not until I saw her for the first time And I was lonely for the last time I saw her for the first time And now I know I gotta make her mine When she walked out, I felt no doubt I would see her again Up in the clouds and deep in the crowds 'Til the very end 'Cause I never seen a face shine light like that And I never felt so much will And I didn't know a man could fall so hard At least not until I saw her for the first time And I was lonely for the last time I saw her for the first time And now I know I gotta make her mine

I know, I know we're vulnerable Gettin' too close, uncomfortable We've been through hell and back again And I've let it all go, all go Baby, if you're goin' my way I know that we'll crash and burn But I loved you first Darlin', if you don't believe me Just know that it's goin' to hurt But I want to If you're comin' over Feel you get closer We both need the closure I know I do Baby, if you're goin' my way I know that we'll crash and burn But I loved you first I know you're tired of fakin' it And we both tried replacin' it And every night I wish didn't Won't ever let go, let go I wanna hold you like nobody can It's somethin' 'bout the way you touch me You mess with my head, my head Baby, if you're goin' my way I know that we'll crash and burn But I loved you first Darlin', if you don't believe me Just know that it's goin' to hurt But I want to If you're comin' over Feel you get closer We both need the closure I know I do Baby, if you're goin' my way I know that we'll crash and burn But I loved you first

Let go of me, I'm better on my own This isn't me, this isn't me anymore Let me be free 'cause this isn't me Doesn't feel like me I didn't want, I never meant to So accidentally to fall in love with you I didn't want, I never meant to I never meant to I'm looking for result I'm searching for a hope 'Cause when you pick me out to Close that door I'm looking for a heart to love me more Just like I loved you Just like I loved you Just like I loved you Just like I loved you 'Cause you love me wrong Just like I loved you Just like I loved you Just like I loved you My heart was a fire, your heart was a stone I loved you so right, but you loved me so wrong Just like I loved you Just like I loved you Just like I loved, like I loved You didn't see, you didn't feel my pain You left me here by my self again Did you ever loved me? Oh, I was just a game to you Was just a game to you I didn't want, I never meant to I lost my self în this I sold my soul to you I didn't want, I never meant to I never meant to I never meant to fall in love I never meant to fall in love I never meant to fall in love Just like I loved you Just like I loved you 'Cause you love me wrong Just like I loved you Just like I loved you Just like I loved you My heart was a fire, your heart was a stone I loved you so right, but you loved me so wrong Just like I loved you Just like I loved you Just like I loved, like I loved

Once upon a time ago Way up in the land of sleet and snow How this fairy tale would go I could not have known I had searched around this world so mean From Livingstone to Palestine Trying to pursue my dream Of love It was then I met this girl so fine She made me think so fast I left my thought behind And I tried to pass for a sophisticated Northern man I said, "Why, yes my dear I know exactly what you mean Because there? s not so much I haven? t done or seen And may I say your eyes are the loveliest Shade of jade" I said, "Come on baby Come on baby Come on baby" It was then I knew I had made my first mistake She did not even start to wait And as she turned around to walk away This is what she had to say She told me "Man, I come from way down South I? ve got a picket fence with a picket house And I don? t need no fast talking northern man Like you around" I said, "Well, come on baby Come on baby Come on baby" Honey, I don? t know what you just heard But Alabama is my favorite word And Birmingham Is a long way from here Why, I could see the light began to shine She turned back around her eyes met mine And suddenly the whole world became A better place Even if it was only for an instant Because it was then I knew I had made my Second mistake She told me, "Man that was a real good try But Alabama? s not where I reside I come from where the river is wide And the crawfish hide" I said, "Well come on baby Come on baby Come on baby" Honey, I don? t know what you just heard But Louisiana is my favorite word And New Orleans Is a long way from here She just looked at me and shook her head "Your lines are pretty sad" she said "You are a lonely, weak, pathetic man If this is doing the best you can" It was then I knew I had made my third mistake Yes, three strikes right across the plate And as I hollered honey, "Please wait" She was gone I said, "Well come on baby Come on baby Come on baby" Honey, I don? t know what you just heard Bartender set? em up are my favorite words Because the love I need Is a long way from here Oh the love I need Is a long way from here Yes well, there I sat so all alone Like a king who sits upon his throne And whose kingdom may have just gone home With another kingdom So as you can imagine much to my surprise When the door was flung back open wide It was a miracle, she walked inside And pulled her chair up next to me And that? s when she knew She had made her First mistake Well honey, I don? t know what you just heard But come on baby are my favorite words And where we? re going Is a long way from here And where we? re going to Is a long way from here So like I said before, I could not have known How this fairy tale would finally go Still the only certain thing for sure Is what I do not know So like the years and all the seasons pass And like the sand runs through the hour glass I just keep on running faster, chasing the happily I am ever after I just keep on running faster Chasing the happily I am ever after

So here we go again I know how this one ends It's a phone call from someplace far away You say you've found yourself Oh, in someone else And she makes you forget about the rain Her eyes are a golden hue And everything you knew Slips away at the hem of her dress As I was passing by that old mountainside It turned to dust at my feet So I am incomplete So loud, and so discreet You tried to pinpoint me I guess that was your mistake Too much whiskey Too much honey, too much wine I learned some things never heal with time And I've been waitin' here Feels like a million years And I'm a photograph that you forgot you took But I remember spring I remember everything Oh, I guess that's the way it goes (Here we go!) La-da-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
