Before She Loved Me

If I could go back And talk to myself in the past I'd probably give myself a slap For how dumb I was being And blind for not seeing The love she was bringing Surrounded me Couldn't see it right in front of me The old me would probably make fun of me And say man you have changed And you ain't the same Sorry to say that just ain't me Ain't settling down with nobody And I ain't the one for no diamond rings Or the sappy things You know I just wanna be free And I don't want a family Cause no one out there understands me Oh and you know that love is a game And that they're all the same And I would say that I agreed Before she loved me That was before she loved me The old me would say how could this be And boy do you ever miss me And all of the girls that would kiss me On a drunken night Under neon light You think that you found the exception Left yourself with no protection Hearts are meant for aching and breaking So as nice as you make it seem Sorry to say that just ain't me Ain't settling down with nobody And I ain't the one for no diamond rings Or the sappy things You know I just wanna be free And I don't want a family Cause no one out there understands me Oh and you know that love is a game And that they're all the same And I would say that I agreed Before she loved me That wasn't life I was living There was something missing It took me so long to see I was a different man Before she loved me So to the old me You go keep living that party But that girls gonna trip up your heartbeat With her eyes so bright and her kisses so sweet Can't help but sweep her off her feet Slowly she'll become your everything Life won't seem so sad anymore And there's so much in store He said how long you think it'll be Before she loves me Oh well you see That used to be My biggest worry Before she loved me That was before she loved me Before she loved me If I could go back And talk to myself in the past Before she loved me
