It's the way you walk, and the way you talk Now you're nothing near the way that you were And there's something strange when you hold my hand Tell my why you changed the way that we were Tell my why you changed the way that we were Could we be the same, could we try again [Chorus] What did I do to you, baby? What did I do to you, baby? What did I do to you, what did I do to you? What did I do to you, baby? You never touch my skin, in the way you did And you even changed the way you kiss me When lovers part there's a change of heart But my heart can't change the way that we were Oh no, my heart can't change the way that we were Could we be the same, could we try again [Chorus] Togetherness is when I undress Never when we talk, never tenderness And I can't forget all the joy we had But I know we'll be the way we were Yes, I know we'll be the way we were Could we be the same, could we try again [Chorus]
