[intro]
-
I can see you turn away when I ask what for
-
You say it isn't anything, but I'm not sure
-
Something underneath the skin won't let you be
-
And you try to keep it in, but I can see
- - -
The wo - man be - fore me must have been hard on you
'Cause that hurt in your eyes, I never put you through
- - -
Sometimes I think you must be talking to
-
The woman before me and you
Sometimes in an argument, it will show
When you go a little farther than you meant to go
I know you don't mean the things that you say
I just wanna ease the pain that's in your way
But the woman before me must have been hard on you
'Cause that hurt in your eyes, I never put you through
Sometimes I think you must be talking to
The woman before me and you
-
If there are sorrows that bring back a tear
-
Don't let them keep us apart
-
You oughta know you've got nothing to fear
Here in my heart
'Cause you and I will never be like the past
Whatever kind of memories that you have
Nothing's gonna hurt me how, can't you see
I already made it a vow that I can keep
But the woman before me must have been hard on you
'Cause that hurt in your eyes, I never put you through
Sometimes I think you must be talking to
The woman before me and you
Sometimes I think you must be talking to
