Yeah...yeah
Oh...oh...
Oh...
Listen
Boy, it's been a long time
Since the last time I saw you
Feels like nothin' changed
Since we've been together
I must admit that I go crazy 'bout you
And I can see it in your eyes
That there's somethin' you want to say to me
'Cause usually right now
You'd be holdin' on to me
But instead you're tellin me
Things have changed, they're not the same
And recently you found someone that you
Decided to dedicate your whole life to
And what we had has got to be through
And baby, what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love you so
I know things are different now, you've gone and settled down
And I thought for sure you'd always wait for me
I'll tell you what hurts the most is I should have took the
chance
Boy, when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me I thought I'd always have your heart
I had the chance to have all the love oh, how I'm missing you
now
I hate that there is someone new
Comin' in and takin' my place
Doin' the things that we used to do
And makin' love to you
And oh, what am I supposed to do
It's killin' me 'cause I want you
And you should have known my love was true
And there's no one else in this world for me but you
But things have changed, they're not the same
And recently you found someone that you
Decided to dedicate your whole life to
And what we had has got to be through
And baby, what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love you so
I know things are different now, you've gone and settled down
And I thought for sure you'd always wait for me
I'll tell you what hurts the most is I should have took the
chance
Boy, when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me I thought I'd always have your heart
I had the chance to have all your love oh, how I'm missing you
now
I know that I'm the one to blame for losing you, oh, yeah
I really, really wish that I could be happy for you
There's just one thing I need you to do
Don't you touch her like you used to touch me
Don't you love her like you really need me
Don't you love her like you used to love me
And baby, what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love you so
I know things are different now, you've gone and settled down
And I thought for sure you'd always wait me
I'll tell you what hurts the most is I should have took the
chance
Boy, when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me I thought I'd always have your heart
I had the chance to have all your love oh, how I'm missing you
now
What hurts the most is letting go, it makes me feel so tired
Just to let you know I love you so, I love you so
What hurts the most is letting go, im tryin to let you go
Just to let you know I love you so, I love you so
What hurts the most
