We used to rule the world
Every kiss was an adventure
Every night with you was like a holiday
How we used to fly like two birds of feather
Making promises we swore we'd never break
Why did we say goodbye?
I should have held on tight
Let's go back tonight, oh
Yeah! You rocked my world forever
I know you still remember how we felt before
Yeah, we should be together 'cause nothing could be better than the way we were
Baby, let's go back to the way we were
We spend the day in bed
Not thinking bout the future
We were so in love but didn't even care
I still can't forget the way you danced around my kitchen
With a box of wine in your underwear
Yeah! You rocked my world forever
I know you still remember how we felt before
Yeah, we should be together 'cause nothing could be better than the way we were
Baby, let's go back to the way we were
Let's turn back the clock
This time we'll take it slow
You can stay the night
This time I won't let go
And when the morning comes
We can start all over, over again
Why did we say goodbye?
Let's go back tonight (Oh)
Yeah! You rocked my world forever
I know you still remember how we felt before
Yeah, we should be together 'cause nothing could be better than the way we were
Baby, let's go back to the way we were
Yeah! You rocked my world forever
I know you still remember how we felt before
Yeah, we should be together 'cause nothing could be better than the way we were
Baby, let's go back to the way we were
