Seems like not long ago   Now two years have passed   I took you for granted   It ended too fast 'cuz I      I wasn't payin' much attention   To your needs,girl   You tried and tried a million times   You cried to me, girl      But I couldn't see   The pain you went through   I was killin' you soft   But I never knew, 'til I found      I found it in that lonely place   You left for me, girl   And now it's killin' me   That's how it's got to be, girl      Girl, you build my heart to break it down   Here I'm cryin' out but no one's around   What does it matter now?   What does it matter now?      I didn't realize that I love you   Till the day that you stopped lovin' me   I didn't realize that I cared for you   Till I heard the news that you're leaving me      Now I realize that I love you   And I'm hopin' that it's not too late   Please pack your bags and come on back   'Cuz now I realize that I'm in love with you      Two weeks have gone   My life is a mess   The closets are empty   Not even a dress girl, remains      I sit and wonder what   I could've done to please you   Is this the penalty for times   I would mistreat you?      Now there are no lips to kiss   And no hand to hold   There's no one to hear me   When I bare my soul and to see      To see you with somebody else   Would drive me crazy   Knowing you wanna fall in love   And have a baby      I'm standing here, broken down   Cryin' out, but girl, you're not around   What does it matter now?   What does it matter now?      I didn't realize that I love you   Till the day that you stopped lovin' me   I didn't realize that I cared for you   Till I heard the news that you're leaving me      Now I realize that I love you   And I'm hopin' that it's not too late   Please pack your bags and come on back   'Cuz now I realize that I'm in love with you      I apologize   For all the wrong things that I done   I'm sorry, babe   For all the right things that I didn't do   One thing that can change a man   Is living alone   Come back home, oh      I didn't realize that I love you   Till the day that you stopped lovin' me   I didn't realize that I cared for you   Till I heard the news that you're leaving me      Now I realize that I love you   And I'm hopin' that it's not too late   Please pack your bags and come on back   'Cuz now I realize that I'm in love with you      Yeah, yeah, yeah   (Yeah)   Yeah, yeah, yeah   (Come on, come on back to me)   Yeah, yeah, yeah   (I'm sorry)   Yeah, yeah, yeah   (Yeah, oh oh)      Now I realize that I love you   And I'm hopin' that it's not too late   Please pack your bags and come on back   'Cuz now I realize that I'm in love with you      Please pack your bags and come on back   'Cuz now I realize that I'm in love with you
