I've got to say that love is cruel And no one is there when you need them But in the days when I was a fool I had to be with you The days are gone and I am here Without you and I need to tell you No one has ever been Most precious to me It's been a long time Since I realized my life Was in your hands And now it seems it's just A matter of time (it's been too long, why sing this song) You think you've been a Simple-minded person In this situation I only want to know What i've been to you Things you've said and things you've done Can only make me wonder why For you were so unlike them all I thought you'd always be I can only speak of love You make me feel like it's a crime Now I think I know some more For what's come right now is my time It's been a long time Since I realized my life Was in your hands And now it seems it's just A matter of time (it's been too long, why sing this song) You think you've been a Simple-minded person In this situation I only want to know What i've been to you want to know What i've been to you want to know
