You wanna talk about devotion You wanna talk about true love After the moment of emotion It?s kinda hard to keep the mood up Well look into my eyes And tell me what you see, darling I've forgotten what it was in you That put the need in me Your arms were like a little paradise But your arms have changed And the flicker of a good love?s fire Has seen brighter days When we've said every line And played out every scene I've forgotten what it was in you That put the need in me Well honey you and I We had the sweetest thing And we can try and try and try But somethin? ain't the same don't look me in the eye ?Cause I'm the one to blame I've forgotten what it was in you That put the need in me who'd ever thought that I Would have the guts to change We could try to live a lie You'd hate me just the same Oh, honey please don't cry I'm sorry and ashamed But I've forgotten what it was in you That put the need in me
