Monday morning came too soon.
I think about you now
Layin' in my room.
Hearing everything you said.
I play it back
A hundred time in my head.
Then I slip into a dream.
The feelin' inside 
Is ten stories high.

Never knew what love was
Until you loved me
Never knew what love was
Oh yeah.
'Cause it feels so good sometimes
And it feels so bad sometimes
The way you loved me, loved me
The way you loved me, loved me.

Friday's always on my mind.
I watch the rain come down
Think of how you shine.
Let it go or hang on tight.
Stay forever
Or stay for one more night.
Either way I feel the same thing for ya
The feelin' inside
Is ten stories high

Never knew what love was
Until you loved me
Never knew what love was
Oh yeah.
'Cause it feels so good sometimes
And it feels so bad sometimes
The way you loved me, loved me
The way you loved me, loved me.

You know that I want you
You know that I need you.

Never knew what love was
Until you loved me
Never knew what love was
Oh yeah.
'Cause it feels so good sometimes
And it feels so bad sometimes
The way you loved me, loved me
The way you loved me, loved me.
