once you said you loved me placed no one above me prayed for me to make that vow what dumb thing did I say so busy being blasé how I wish you'd ask me now
I was vain and blind then prone to be unkind then wish they'd turn back time somehow then I was audacious I ignored what was precious how I wish you'd ask me now
I thought then I'd always be all footloose and fancy free how could I have been so blind what I once made light of turned out to be true love
once my ego ruled me flattered me and fooled me more times than the laws allow you asked me could I care my attention was elsewhere how I wish you'd ask me now
you asked me could I care my attention was elsewhere how I wish you'd ask me now
