It's been this many years 
It's been that many years 
And still have to ask the same question 
Why? 

Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night 
When you and me would kiss at night 
Remember what we tripped like 
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night 
Now it's so hard to find two words to say 

Funny me, funny you 
Don't have nothing lft in common 
You wanted me to have your heart 
Now you want it back 
What about the promise you made to me 
That you wouldn't trade the key in for no damn reason 
And suddenly we're flying high 
Now it's Mayday we're falling fast 
You're trying to get lost 
I'm trying to pull up 
And damn I can't say 
You said you didn't need me 
I really didn't think that you would leave me 

Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night 
When you and me would kiss at night 
Remember what we tripped like 
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night 
Now it's so hard to find two words to say 

Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night 
When we were saying things like where have you been all my life 
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night 
Now it's so hard to find two words to say 

Now the kids are looking at me like I'm to blame 
No longer got their respect for me 
Don't want to hear what I'm saying 
I know how it feels to be ashamed 
Cause when I was young I felt that pain too 
And I can't say nothing that would cause you to make a change 
And that's the reason that we're going our separate ways 
Then who am I fooling 
What am I doing thinking you love me 

Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night 
When you and me would kiss at night 
Remember what we tripped like 
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night 
Now it's so hard to find two words to say 

Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night 
When we were saying things like where have you been all my life 
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night 
Now it's so hard to find two words to say 

You would think by this time I would get it right 
Know the schemes and the things that make it be right 
When you said you could stay no longer 
I thought I had just a little more daylight 
LIke when we use to turn a fight into a good night 
I know the things I use to do to make you feel right 
I would give anything the fortune I made 
To bring back the days that the feeling was so right 

Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night 
When you and me would kiss at night 
Remember what we tripped like 
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night 
Now it's so hard to find two words to say 

Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night 
When we were saying things like where have you been all my life 
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night 
Now it's so hard to find two words to say 

Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night 
When you and me would kiss at night 
Remember what we tripped like 
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night 
Now it's so hard to find two words to say 

Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night 
When we were saying things like where have you been all my life 
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night 
Now it's so hard to find two words to say 

Why the dreams we had we threw them all away 
Why the dreams we had we let them slip away
