The Woman that You Knew

I read the stories in the magazine That said that I should follow all my dreams They made me feel that life was passin' by And I was givin' up without a try I lay awake and wonder what I've done And face the fear of ending up alone I telephoned your number many nights But courage fails and I hang up the phone Now all I want to say is Won't you take me back? I've come a long, long way and Look at me now, I'm not the woman that you knew Can't you see what life has brought me through? I've swallowed my pride, the rest is up to you Take me back, this woman that you knew Take me back this woman that you knew Remember, you've made mistakes, too For every tear you've cried, I've cried a few Take me back, this woman that you knew I wanted to believe the things they said And all the promises that I'd been fed I found the city lights aren't all they seem And all I had was someone else's dreams Now all I want to say is Won't you take me back? I've come a long, long way and Look at me now, I'm not the woman that you knew Can't you see what life has brought me through? I've swallowed my pride, the rest is up to you Take me back, the woman that you knew Take me back the woman that you knew Remember, you've made mistakes, too For every tear you've cried, I've cried a few Take me back, this woman that you knew Take me back, this woman that you knew
