When I wasn't lookin' babe Fell in love with you You said you couldn't make it alone and you needed me too Now the road you're on is turning Round a different bend And when I said when I'd follow you I never thought it would end And now the days are longer, nights are colder without you There was a time I was meant for you I tried my best but love played me a bitter jest Love has made me miss you more Than I should have did And love has made a fool out of me And you don't care Well why the empty silence? Why the painful lies? Now I know you love someone else I'm taking it hard tonight And now the days are longer, nights are colder without you There was a time I was meant for you I tried my best but love played me a bitter jest When I wasn't lookin' babe Fell in love with you Now I know you didn't need me You had to have someone new And now the days are longer, nights are colder without you There was a time I was meant for you I tried my best but love played me a bitter jest Love played me a bitter jest Love played me a bitter jest Love played me a bitter jest Love played me a bitter jest Love played me a bitter jest
