A moment ago it seemed It was yesterday You were here with me And everything seems to be the same What am I supposed to do with all these empty rooms? Sit here in solitude with the smell of your perfume You never took the time to know me You never took the time to understand You never took the time to know me, yeah 'Cause loving you is all I ever had Said loving you is all I ever had This wasn't what I wanted to be A man in misery Girl, I look back a thousand times And can't believe that you left me (Why you leave me, baby?) Why can't you understand my pain? How can I explain? Girl, I don't know what I'm doing wrong I can't believe your love is gone 'Cause you never took the time to know me (Said you never took the time to know me) You never took the time to understand (oh, yeah) You never took the time to know me, yeah (said you never took the time to know me) See, loving you is all I ever had Baby, loving you is all I ever had You're all I need You're all I see I wish that we could do it again 'Cause you never took the time to know me (Baby, you never took the time to know me) You never took the time to understand (oh, yeah) Said you never took the time to know me, yeah Because of you now I'm just a lonely man Because of you now I'm just a lonely man
