It's been this many years, and it's been that many tears, and I still have to ask the same question, why?Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?You and me were just alike, remember what we dreamed likeWhy don't it feel like it felt on the first night?I was so hard to find two words to sayFunny me, funny you, don't have nothing left in commonYou wanted me to have your heart, now you want it backWhat about the promise made to me that you wouldn't trade the key in for no damn reasonAnd suddenly, we're flying high, now it's Mayday, we're falling fastYou're trying to kill us, I'm trying to pull up, damn I can't sayWhen you said you didn't need me, I really didn't think that you would leaveWhy don't it feel like it felt on the first night?You and me were just alike, remember what we dreamed likeWhy don't it feel like it felt on the first night?I was so hard to find two words to sayWhy don't it feel like it felt on the first night?I remember saying things like we're happy, but nobody likedWhy don't it feel like it felt on the first night?I was so hard to find two words to sayNow the kids are looking at me like I'm to blameNo mama got the respect for me and what I'm sayingI know how it feels to be ashamed, cause when I was young I felt that pain tooAnd I can't say enough that we're conscious to make a changeAnd that's the reason that we're going our separate waysDamn, who am I fooling? What am I doing?Thinking you love meWhy don't it feel like it felt on the first night?You and me were just alike, remember what we dreamed likeWhy don't it feel like it felt on the first night?I was so hard to find two words to sayWhy don't it feel like it felt on the first night?I remember saying things like we're happy, but nobody likedWhy don't it feel like it felt on the first night?I was so hard to find two words to sayYou would think by this time I would get rightKnow the schemes and the things that make it be rightWhen you said you could stay no longerI thought I had just a little more delightIt looked like we used to turn a fight into a good nightI know the things I used to do to make you feel rightI would give anything, the fortune I madeTo bring back the days that the feeling was so rightWhy don't it feel like it felt on the first night?Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?I was so hard to find two words to sayI remember saying things like we're happy, but nobody likedWhy don't it feel like it felt on the first night?I was so hard to find two words to sayWhy don't it feel like it felt on the first night?Again I remember what would truly makeWhy don't it feel like it felt on the first night?I had two words to sayWhy don't it feel like it felt on the first night?And it didn't no matter likeWhy don't it feel like it felt on the first night?I soul sped awayI had two words to sayWhile the dreams we had we threw it all awayWhile the dreams we had we let them slip away
