Lyrics
"The Way We Used To Be"
(1st Verse)
Baby, it's been so long, so long since I had you
I'm finding it harder each day to keep living without you
(1st Prechorus)
Every time that I look at the past I see a future, girl, that could have lasted
I wonder if we'll ever go back
(CHORUS)
To the way we used to be, whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
To the way we used to be, whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, ooh
(2nd Verse)
So clear, it's becoming so clear what I truly need
Now I'd give, just anything, for you to come back to me (come back girl)
(2nd Prechorus)
Now every time that I look at the past I see a future, girl, that should have lasted
And I wonder if we'll ever go back
(CHORUS)
To the way we used to be
(No I never will forget, all the happiness you gave to me)
To the way we used to be
(All I feel is deep regret, for the day I went and set you free)
(Bridge)
Now people tell me that you're living happily
But are they lying girl, now would you be better off with me
Maybe you'll come around
Maybe someday you'll come back to, back to me
(No I never will forget all the happiness you gave to me)
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-ooh, ooh, to the way we used to be
(All I feel is deep regret for the day I went and set you free)
whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-ooh, ooh, ooh
(Repeat out)
