Deep down inside, I know I still love her
But she'll never know, cause I'll never tell or confide
That I'm thinking of her and wishing her well
I can't walk up to her and say to her
Baby, just what you've been doing
I still love you like I did
You know that nothing's really changed
But being the way I am, I keep it hid
Now lately I've seen the look in her eyes
That just breaks my heart, cause she needs me so
Just to lean on her right at this moment
Oh, why can't I go up to that old lover of mine
And say, baby, just what you've been doing
I still love you like I did
You know that nothing's really changed
But being the way I am, I keep it hid
Now maybe someday, I'll throw off my foolish pride
Cause this ain't no good, watching her die
This way, cause she's the same girl inside
But why can't I go up to that old lover of mine
And say, baby, just what you've been doing
I still love you like I did
You know that nothing's really changed
But being the way I am, I just keep it
