I loved you before you met him   And I loved you even after you were wed   I told you I'd never forget you   That I'd be here when his love was dead      Now you're back in my arms and I'm happy   And I guess he knows just where he stands   Cause when he lied and cheated on you   That's when he dropped the world in my hands   [ guitars ]   Didn't he realize what he was losing   To give you up he must have been insane   And to him it just didn't seem to matter   That his love was another man's game      It's his right if he wants to be a fool   But I wonder if he really understands   That when he gave your love back to me   That's when he dropped the world in my hands
