Lyrics

[Verse 1] Ooh, I met a little girl, oh, sure was fine (Sure was fine) Pretty little thing–just about blew my mind (Wooh...) She took me home... ah, and made love to me I knew right then and there, this is where I wanted to be Ooh, most of my life I had been all, all... all alone And you're so sweet to me, don't think I'll ever roam [Verse 2] And then one day, as time will pass I had this feeling that our love would last Nothing could go wrong, and it seemed everything I did Seemed to please you; all the heartaches, you hid (Seemed to please you) Then one night, after we made it, and we were through That's when I decided–I wanted to marry you [Bridge] (Do you take this woman...?) "Do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife To have, hold, and cherish–for the rest of your life?" I do, yes I do (I do...) I do, darlin' ('cause... I...) 'cause I love you [Verse 3] (1964!) Once, you really loved me Once, I really loved you (1976!) Then time would change you As time would really change me Oh... (we thought...) we thought our love (Would stand...) Would stand the test of time But as I sing this song right now, I wonder– Today, if you're a friend of mine? [Verse 4] Cry, cry, cry I have done some crying Woman, you have caused my tears to flow Cry, cry, cry Do you cry about me? Do you ever think about the kind of love we had? [synthesizer solo] [Outro] Hal-le, hallelujah Hal-le-lu, I'm free Hal-le, hallelujah Hal-le-lu, I'm free
