That Was Then

When I looked you in the eyes
My heart told me I loved you
Time seemed just to stand still
My knees start getting’ wobbly
And I knew – I’d do anything for you

But that was then and this is now
Time is such a changer
I once thought that I loved you
Once I tried to get near you
Then you went and turned me down
So now I’m here to sing my song and say

You laugh in my direction
My face starts gettin’ rosy
You laughed all the harder
Came up with some lame come-back
Yet your attention is on me
And I’d be anything for you

But that was then and this is now
Time is such a changer
I once thought that I loved you
Once I tried to get near you
Then you went and turned me down
So now I’m here to sing my song and say

I liked you, I loved you.
You said no, I lost you
You liked her, you loved her
She said no, you lost her
So now you know how I
Feel

I once thought that I loved you.
Time is such a changer.
