We said our goodbyes long ago
Never thinking we'd miss each other so
All the memories we can't leave behind
Oh, we must have been out of our minds

I thought I loved another, not you
How foolish, I thought the same, too
They both turned out to be the wrong kind
Oh, we must have been out of our minds

Let's forgive and forget the past we've known
And reap together the wild seeds we've sown
Surely they can forgive us in time
That we must have been out of our minds

I thought I loved another, not you
How foolish, I thought the same, too
They both turned out to be the wrong kind
Oh, we must have been out of our minds

Yes, we must have been out of our minds
