Didn't really want to say   good-bye   I was torn between love   and pride   you kissed the child in me   When and brought about    a lady      Lovin' times always seem   to change   I guess I'm a part   to blame   We lost our eye to eye   Day and night I only cry      Well your pushing got the   best of me   A time I'd thought I'd    never leave   Lift the hands that had a    hold on me   now tis time to breathe      Cause you meant the    world to me   But I had other needs   To be the girl of   someone's eye   And not a type that you    could love and hide      Cause you had to take    control   so I just had to go   I'm sorry how it had to be   But you meant the world to me      The love you gave    blinded me   so disguised I    couldn't see   Your eyes seemed so   sincere   I didn't notice any    trouble there      But you went and turned   your love on me   Only wanted me lock   and key   Didn't understand my   thoughts and ways   Pretty soon you said I'd   changed      CHORUS      You meant the world to me   You meant the world      People tell you stand by    your man    It it's love throught thick   and thin   but you wouldn't go and   let it be    So now it's time for me,   yeah      CHORUS
