It's been this many years
|
It's been that many years
|
And still have to ask the same question
|
Why?
|
|
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night
|
When you and me would kiss at night
|
Remember what we tripped like
|
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night
|
Now it's so hard to find two words to say
|
|
Funny me, funny you
|
Don't have nothing lft in common
|
You wanted me to have your heart
|
Now you want it back
|
What about the promise you made to me
|
That you wouldn't trade the key in for no damn reason
|
And suddenly we're flying high
|
Now it's Mayday we're falling fast
|
You're trying to get lost
|
I'm trying to pull up
|
And damn I can't say
|
You said you didn't need me
|
I really didn't think that you would leave me
|
|
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night
|
When you and me would kiss at night
|
Remember what we tripped like
|
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night
|
Now it's so hard to find two words to say
|
|
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night
|
When we were saying things like where have you been all my life
|
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night
|
Now it's so hard to find two words to say
|
|
Now the kids are looking at me like I'm to blame
|
No longer got their respect for me
|
Don't want to hear what I'm saying
|
I know how it feels to be ashamed
|
Cause when I was young I felt that pain too
|
And I can't say nothing that would cause you to make a change
|
And that's the reason that we're going our separate ways
|
Then who am I fooling
|
What am I doing thinking you love me
|
|
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night
|
When you and me would kiss at night
|
Remember what we tripped like
|
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night
|
Now it's so hard to find two words to say
|
|
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night
|
When we were saying things like where have you been all my life
|
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night
|
Now it's so hard to find two words to say
|
|
You would think by this time I would get it right
|
Know the schemes and the things that make it be right
|
When you said you could stay no longer
|
I thought I had just a little more daylight
|
LIke when we use to turn a fight into a good night
|
I know the things I use to do to make you feel right
|
I would give anything the fortune I made
|
To bring back the days that the feeling was so right
|
|
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night
|
When you and me would kiss at night
|
Remember what we tripped like
|
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night
|
Now it's so hard to find two words to say
|
|
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night
|
When we were saying things like where have you been all my life
|
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night
|
Now it's so hard to find two words to say
|
|
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night
|
When you and me would kiss at night
|
Remember what we tripped like
|
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night
|
Now it's so hard to find two words to say
|
|
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night
|
When we were saying things like where have you been all my life
|
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night
|
Now it's so hard to find two words to say
|
|
Why the dreams we had we threw them all away
|
Why the dreams we had we let them slip away
