It's been this many years It's been that many tears And I still have to ask the same question: Why?
Why don't 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 it felt on the first night? Now it's so hard to find two words to say...
Funny me, funny you! Don't have nothing left in common You wanted me to have your Now you want 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 damn I can't say You said you didn't need me I really didn't think that you would leave me
[Chorus:] 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 it feel like it 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 you been all my life? Why don't it feel like it 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 And no longer got their respect for me, Don't 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 our separate ways Then who am I fooling? What am I doing thinking you love me?
[Chorus:]
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 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 in anything for fortune I made To bring back the days that the feeling was so right

Why the dreams we had we threw them all away? Why the dreams we had we let them slip away?
