Song Description

Missed opportunity for true love; now it's too late

Lyrics

I didn't know that you were the only one for me
When we were young, nothing but fun, believing time would keep us free
Caught you looking at me but I didn't realize
The look you gave me said you'd be the only man who would ever satisfy me

Lost in my youth, blind to the inevitable truth
It couldn't work then, I wasn't ready for the perfect man

The time wasn't right back when you wanted me, doobie doobie doo doo doo ah
And when the time can I knew I wanted you too
There was nothing that I could do to bring you back to me
Cuz you couldn't wait for me, you've moved on, I see
The time just wasn't right

Partied hard, the nights became my holidays
Tousled sheets, a stranger's shirts, I lived the danger of a bad girl's life
Through the hole in my heart flowed any chance I had at love
Fakin' my way through everything, just doing the best I could do to keep my head up

I was a good girl being what I didn't want to be
Came close to the edge, but your memory pulled me back to sanity

[CHORUS]

Traded in shorts and thongs for my slacks and heels that pay the bills
A bank full of cash, but a bankrupt heart that's never filled
All the time longin for that ordinary life
And look where it's got me, here I am, all alone, nobody's wife

Now I'll never know how it feels to be cradled in your arms
Or to sweep up our children in a family's hug, kept safe from harm

[CHORUS]
