A moment ago it seemed 
It was yesterday 
You were here with me 
And everything seems to be the same 

What am I supposed to do 
With all these empty rooms? 
Sit here in solitude 
With the smell of your perfume 

Ya never took the time to know me 
Ya never took the time to understand 
Ya never took the time to know me 
Yeah 
Cause lovin' you is all I ever had 
Still lovin' you is all I ever have 

This wasn't what I wanted to be 
A man in misery 
Girl I look back a thousand times 
And can't believe that you left me 
Why you leave me baby 
Why can't you understand my pain 
How can I explain 
Girl I don't know what I'm doin' wrong 
I can't believe that your love is gone 

Cause you never took the time to know me 
Said you never took the time to know me 
You never took the time to understand 
Oh 
Oh yeah 
Said you never took the time to know me 
Said you never took the time to know me 
See lovin' you is all I ever had 
Baby lovin' you is all I ever had 

Ooh yeah 
You're all I need 
You're all I see 
And I wish that we could do it again 

Cause you never took the time to know 
Baby you never took the time to know me 
You never took the time to understand 
Oh oh 
Yeah 
Said you never took the time to know me 
Yeah 
Because of you now I'm just a lonely man
Oh 
Because of you now I'm just a lonely man
