Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A moment ago, it seemed it was yesterday, you were here with me
And everything seems to be the same
What am I supposed to do with all these empty rooms?
Sit here in solitude with the smell of your perfume
[Verse 2]
You never took the time to know me
You never took the time to understand
You never took the time to know me, yeah
'Cause lovin' you is all I ever had, said lovin' you is all I ever had
[Verse 3]
This wasn't what I wanted to be, a man in misery
Girl, I look back a thousand times and can't believe that you left me
Why can't you understand my pain? How can I explain?
Girl, I don't know what I'm doin' wrong, I can't believe your love is gone
[Verse 4]
'Cause you never took the time to know me
You never took the time to understand
You never took the time to know me, yeah
See, lovin' you is all I ever had, baby, lovin' you is all I ever had
[Verse 5]
You're all I need
You're all I see
And I wish that we could do it again
[Verse 6]
'Cause you never took the time to know me
You never took the time to understand
Said you never took the time to know me, yeah
Because of you now, I'm just a lonely man
Because of you now, I'm just a lonely man
