Maybe I didn't realize

The way I loved the way you moved

'Till I moved so far away

Couldn't I see you anymore

Maybe all those secret times

Didn't seem so bad until I knew

All of my little secrets

Weren't all that secret anymore

Maybe it's all right

I mean I went and found the modern world

But I miss the way life was

When you were my girl

I know I never noticed then

Just what it was I had

Up until I lost you

And man did I lose you

Ain't that the way it always goes

And I know you are gonna be just fine

You know they say it's better

To have loved and to lose it

Than to never ever know it

Easy come and easy go whatever

Maybe it's all right

I mean I went and found the modern world

But I miss the way life was

When you were my girl
