Wow

Well, I've just been do ing the same of thing I've al ways been do ing You know, I've got a new la dy now And it's a lit tle dif fer ent than it was when I was with you

You know, I think back to when we met

The way I used to be and the cold way I used to act But more than that, I think of how you changed me with your love and sen si ti si ty Re mem ber when I used to Love

them and leave them

That's what I used to do

Use and a buse them

Then I laid eyes on you it was pain

be fore plea sure

That was my claim to turne

With eve ry mea sure ba by Tas ted tear drop stains yeah

I was cold as ice

long a go, ba by, by

I was n't ve ry, ve ry, ve ry nice, you know Su gar, su gar, su gar
