Once upon a time Before I knew how to speak Words had good intentions At least they didn't make me weep Now your phrases make me sentimental I got it bad and I hate you for that I'm sorry to say Time to back away Once upon a time Before I knew how to read your mind I felt at ease Being by myself all night Oh I want to be on my own again I remember myself as a wiser woman without you Oh oh oh I do I remember the time when I kept my feet on solid ground And that the day is kind of jazzed And now the days I jazz around And I don't know what you'd like to do First I suggest that you like me too Before we go somewhere Before I go somewhere Before we go somewhere Before I go somewhere
