Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Were you ever so in love, you couldn't wait to get to sleep and dream
About the one you wish was there beside you?
In the past few days I've grown to love your giggles on the phone
And how we hug so nicely
[Verse 2]
And from the first time that I saw you
Had I know you better then, I would've said those three old words
And from the first time I saw you
Had I known you better then
[Verse 3]
Now, I'm gonna move away, another town, another crazy day
Ooh, I want to stay and maybe hang around you
Call it luck (Call it luck)
Call it fate
Call it a shame, that we have met too late
And loved so lightly
[Verse 4]
And from the first time that I saw you
Had I know you better then, I would've said those three old words
And from the first time that I saw you
Had I known you better then
Had I known you
Had I known you better then
[Verse 5]
Were you ever so much in love, you couldn't wait to get to sleep and dream
About the one you wish was right there beside you?
From the first time, that I saw you
Had I known you better then (Had I known you)
I would have said those three old words
And from the first time that I saw you
Had I known you better then (Had I known you)
Had I known you better then
Had I known you, had I known you better then
[Verse 6]
Had I known you
Had I known you better then, better
Had I known you, had I known you better then
Had I known you, had I known you better then
Had I known, had I known you better
Had I known, had I known you better
Had I known, had I known you better
Had I known, had I known you better
