It's been this many years   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?   When you and me would kiss at night, remember what we tripped like   Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?   Now it's so hard to find two words to say      Funny me, funny you, don't have nothing left in common   You wanted me to have your heart now you want it back   What about the promise you made to me?   That you wouldn't trade the key in for no damn reason      And suddenly we're flying high now it's Mayday we're falling fast   You're trying to get lost, I'm trying to pull up and damn I can't say   You said you didn't need me   I really didn't think that you would leave me      Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?   When you and me would kiss at night, remember what we tripped like   Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?   Now it's so hard to find two words to say      Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night   When we were saying things like where have you been all my life?   Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?   Now it's so hard to find two words to say      Now the kids are looking at me like I'm to blame   And no longer got their respect for me, don't want to hear   What I'm saying, I know how it feels to be ashamed   'Cause when I was young I felt that pain too      And I can't say nothing that would 'cause you to make a change   And that's the reason that we're going our separate ways   Then who am I fooling?   What am I doing thinking you love me?      Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?   When you and me would kiss at night, remember what we tripped like   Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?   Now it's so hard to find two words to say      Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?   When we were saying things like where have you been all my life?   Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?   Now it's so hard to find two words to say      You would think by this time I would get it right   Know the schemes and the things that make it be right   When you said you could stay no longer   I thought I had just a little more daylight      Like when we use to turn a fight into a good night   I know the things I use to do to make you feel right   I would give in anything for fortune I made   To bring back the days that the feeling was so right      Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?   When you and me would kiss at night, remember what we tripped like   Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?   Now it's so hard to find two words to say      Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?   When we were saying things like where have you been all my life?   Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?   Now it's so hard to find two words to say      Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?   When you and me would kiss at night, remember what we tripped like   Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?   Now it's so hard to find two words to say      Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?   When we were saying things like where have you been all my life?   Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?   Now it's so hard to find two words to say      Why the dreams we had we threw them all away?   Why the dreams we had we let them slip away?   Why the dreams we had we threw them all away?
