Verse 1
You’d stare
Each time that she’d walk by
She’d turn around and you’d try to catch her eye
It’s like I wasn’t even there
I’d call
Ask you where you’ve been
And you would say “I’m on Bourbon St. with friends”
I’m wonderin’ why I ever cared
Pre-Chorus
You wont keep me down
I know some things change
It’s over now
I’m movin’ on
Me again
Chorus
Up
You had me down, but now my life is changin’
Up
The heart you kicked around is over breakin’
Up
Love takes only one to shake things
Uh-ah, Uh-up, Uh-ah, Uh-up, Uh
Up
Don’t know what you wanted but it wasn’t
Us
I walked away, I hope you know I’ve had
Enough
You had me down, but now my life is lookin’
Uh-ah, Uh-up
Uh-ah, Uh-up, Uh…..Up
Verse 2
Your face
Fading from my mind
I hear our song, it no longer makes me cry
You’re like a million miles away
My life’s
So much simpler now
All I can say, the world’s lifted me somehow
I’m wonderin’ why I ever tried
Pre-Chorus
Now you’re just a part
Of what I was back then
But now my heart’s
Not where you are
Me again
Chorus
Bridge
You had me in a deep and dark place
Where a weaker kind of woman may have stayed
But then I found real love
Oh, I’ve found real love
Chorus (2x)
