I've had my taste of independence 
Since the day I set you free 
Now I don't bear the least resemblance 
To the man I used to be 

Cause baby things look much different now 
On this side of good-bye.
Can't you find it in your heart somehow?
To give our love just one more try

I thought I knew just what I wanted
When I left you standing there
But now each night my soul is haunted
By the dreams we used to share

And baby things look much different now 
On this side of good-bye.
Can't you find it in your heart somehow?
To give our love just one more try

I got to find away to make you hear me
I got reach you somehow and make you forgive me
My mistake I've already paid too much my soul
Baby don't make me pay for as long as I live

Baby things look much different now 
On this side of good-bye.
Can't you find it in your heart somehow?
To give our love just one more try

Now baby things look so much different now 
On this side of good-bye.
