Lyrics:

Does it give you some kind of power
to know you rule my life?
I remember once before you said
you’d be my wife.
Does it make you feel so good
to know that I’ve been crying?
But, no matter how you hurt me,
I’ll just keep on trying.

‘Cause once before we swam in
what I called a happy sea.
And I can’t help thinking that’s
the way it’s supposed to be.

Once before you wouldn’t say
that we were just acquainted.
Now you say our happiness
is just a picture that I painted.

Does it make you smile when
you hear me speak,
thinking of how you’re so strong
and I’m so weak?
Does it make you laugh to
keep on saying it’s the end?
Don’t I make you realize
I want you bad, I want you back again?

‘Cause once before we swam in
what I called a happy sea.
And I can’t help thinking that’s
the way it’s supposed to be.

Once before you wouldn’t say
that we were just acquainted.
Now you say our happiness
is just a picture that I painted.

Let me hold you once more
before you tell me to go.
Although I can’t say I forgot how it feels
‘cause I still know.
There were just too many good times,
too many smiles
to believe that you never loved me,
woman, all this while.

‘Cause once before we swam in
what I called a happy sea.
And I can’t help thinking that’s
the way it’s supposed to be.

Once before you wouldn’t say
that we were just acquainted.
Now you say our happiness
is just a picture that I painted.
