Every song on the radio
Seems like it's talking about me
A message from another voice
Telling me i made the wrong choice, oh no
I close my eyes and she'd a tear
The music makes me with you were here
Girl, since i let my baby go
I know i made a mistake
Cause it took a song
To make me understand
It took a song
To make me be a man
It took a song
To make me understand
It took a song
To make me miss you
The silence of a melody
It game me time to see
See just how wrong i've been
Please come back
Before this song ends
Now i am the lonely one
And you are the reason
Girl i know i was wrong
And i heard it in a song
Now all i ask for
Is all over again
Will i ever hear (will i ever hear)
Your melody (your melody)
And your song again
It's been so long (so long)
Baby come back home (baby come back home)
I know i was wrong
Tell me why
I don't know why (i don't know why)
See i was a fool (i was a fool, oh baby yeah)
See i don't know why
I let my baby go (lady)
I don't know why (tell me why)
See i was a fool (oh so sorry babe)
See i don't know why (yes i am)
I let my baby go (baby)
[repeat til fade]
Cause it took a song
To make me understand
It took a song
To make me be a man
It took a song
To make me understand
