Every time I turn around It's the same old thing I see And if I look too far ahead There's a past in front of me People saying don't do that Don't start your running People saying if I turn my back I won't get anywhere Every moment that I stand in line (With) my heart's yearning I find myself thinking 'bout the way it was When I didn't care If you come into this world alone That's the way that you go back out When I met you I was on my own And you were something I could dream about Ain't a whole lot of dreams come true And I'm feeling lucky We made a whole other set of rules And I broke my share In the middle of a storm with you Count down to lightning's When I find myself thinking 'Bout the way it was When you didn't care If I wore my clothes real tight If I stayed up and out all night Nothing so wrong it didn't turn out right 'Cause you didn't care A smart woman gotta plan for rain Find the hurt and kiss away the pain You can leave it there if you don't care Every time I turn around it's the Same old thing I see And if I look too far ahead there's A past in front of me At the end of a long embrace Two lover's kissing At the start of a new romance No stopping there Later on through the test of time You hope nothing's missing missing Or you find yourself thinking 'Bout the way it was Thinking 'bout the way it was Thinking 'bout the way it was When you didn't care Was a time, was a time When I didn't care
