Lyrics

[Intro]
Gotta find out what I meant to you
You're the one who broke my heart
Gotta find out what I'm meant to do
You're the one who broke my heart
[Verse 1]
When I met you, boy, you were as sweet as cherry pie
That smiling eye, you were as wild as Friday night
I should have known, how ever hard you try
Change would come and strangle it, it was bound to die
[Chorus]
You were sweet as cherry pie
Wild as Friday night
Sweet as cherry pie
Wild as Friday night
[Bridge]
Gotta find out what I meant to you
You're the one who broke my heart in two
Gotta find out what I meant to you, oh, boy
Gotta find out what I meant to you
You're the one who broke my heart in two
Where were you just when I needed you?
[Verse 2]
You gave me your soul for at least a day
Listen, boy, there was a time when I wanted you to stay
You'll know the cost, it's you who's gonna pay
I'm stronger now, I loved you then, I ask you anyway
[Chorus]
You were sweet as cherry pie
Wild as Friday night
Sweet as cherry pie
Wild as Friday night
[Bridge]
Gotta find out what I meant to you
You're the one who broke my heart in two
Where were you just when I needed you, boy?
Gotta find out what I meant to you
You're the one who broke my heart in two
Ooh, I needed you
[Bridge]
You tease me
Broke my heart
You broke my heart
Ooh, ooh
You were the only one, you were the only one
You're a son of a gun
You were the only one, you were the only one
Oh, boy, you broke my heart, mmm-mmm
Sweet as cherry pie
Sweet as cherry pie
[Bridge]
Gotta find out what I meant to you
You're the one who broke my heart in two
Gotta find out what I meant to you, oh, boy
Gotta find out what I meant to you
Where were you just when I needed you?
Gotta find out what I meant to you, boy
[Outro]
Where were you when I needed you?
You were the only one, you were the only one
Ooh, son of a gun
You were the only one
I'm feelin' strong
I loved you then
So I ask you anyway
[Outro]
Gotta find out what I meant to you (Sweet as cherry pie)
You broke my heart
Gotta find out, gotta find out what I meant to you (Sweet as cherry pie)
You tease me
You were the only one, you were the only one (Wild as Friday night)
Son of a gun
You were the only one, you were the only one (Sweet as cherry pie)
