It's not like I said it would be it's not so easy to forget you I see
I said I would never cry at all if you should leave I'd never try to call
But oh how so wrong I could be oh please won't you come back to me
I said I would never cry at all if you should leave I'd never try to call
But oh how so wrong I could be oh please won't you come back to me
