Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I don't love you when you're makin' bags of cash

Any more than when you try, but finish last

But I love you for the way you make me laugh

How you hold me when I'm sad

You think you've failed me, but I've failed more times than that

[PreChorus]

And you were there for me

So I'll be there for you

'Cause you were there for me

[Chorus]

I still see you how I saw you on the first day that we met

There's a light that's in your eyes, and I know it ain't gone out yet

So don't you worry, baby, I'm still your baby

I still see you how I saw you on the first day that we met

[Refrain]

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

And oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

[Verse 2]

I don't love you when you've gotten all your dreams

Any more than when you're cryin' on your knees

But God, I love you 'cause you make me feel so safe

I wish you weren't so ashamed

You think you messed up, but love, I've made worse mistakes

[PreChorus]

And you were there for me

So I'll be there for you

'Cause you were there for me

[Chorus]

I still see you how I saw you on the first day that we met

There's a light that's in your eyes, and I know it ain't gone out yet

So don't you worry, baby, I'm still your baby

I still see you how I saw you on the first day that we met

[Refrain]

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

And oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

First day that we met

Always gonna love you more

[Chorus]

I still see you how I saw you on the first day that we met

There's a light that's in your eyes, and I know it ain't gone out yet

So don't you worry, baby, I'm still your baby

I still see you how I saw you on the first day that we met

[Outro]

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

And oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

I still see you how I saw you on the first day that we met
