lyrics

I was young once, I was young once,
and you are young.
And I was in love once,
I was in love once, and you are not in love...

come and complicate my life,
come and make me an unhappy wife,
come and put your hand in mine,
come and drink all my wine.
(ooh... ooh)

and I was almost, I was almost
a normal girl
then you came along and I'm not a tom
nor a sweater set and pearls...

this is the way to break my heart and you don't even know
that you know it
letting me hold you in my arms
(ooh... ooh)

send me a postcard, drop me a line
and take some alone time
I wrote you a poem, I wrote you a rhyme
and I folded it into a valentine...

and tucked it underneath my bed,
chantilly white and blood red
some things are better left unsaid
I banish the thought from my head

and this is the way
this is the way
this is the way to forget
(ooh... ooh)
