Lyrics
[Spoken Intro] You know... When you say your marriage vows They're supposed to be for real, I mean... If you think back about what you really said, you know, about... honor, and loving and "obeying until death do us part" and all But it shouldn't be that way, it should-it should-it shouldn't be lies, because... though, it turns out to be lies If you don't honor what you said, you've lied to God The words should be changed (Ooh...) [Verse 1] Now as I recall, we tried a million times Again, again and again (And that isn't all) And that isn't all, I gave my love to you Each time to make amends (Ooh, baby) Suddenly, I start to realize–I can't make it Pretty birds fly away I had to leave you for my health's sake What to do? "Make him pay" For leaving you, my fine is to pay forever So if a fresh new love comes in, I won't say those words again Instead I'll say I'll try to love and protect you With all my heart, as long as you want me to, baby (Ooh, ooh...) if I love again, I'm gonna try a new way this time Memories of the things we did Some we're proud of, some we hid So when two people have to part–sometimes it makes them stronger Do you remember all of the bullshit, baby?! Yeah, yeah... You say you love me with all your heart But if you ever loved me with all of your heart You'd never take a million dollars to part [Bridge] I really tried.... You know I tried... oh, baby Although, we tried... All of those promises was nothin' but lies But I've really tried You know–how hard I've really tried (All that rehearsing, baby) We really lied, didn't we, baby? And on top of that, you have scandalized my name (Woo-ooh...) [Verse 2] What I can't understand is, if you love me How could you turn me in to the police? (Ooh...) Didn't I love you good? And try to take care of you–best I could? You were so divine And your love was like mellow wine Pains of love, miles of tears – enough to last me for my lifetime Broken hearts last for years – so break away to the new-day sunshine One thing I can promise, friend – I'll never be back again But I'm not really bitter, babe (All the luck in the world) I wish you all the luck and all the love in the world (All the good love in the world) Wooh...! (Good luck in the world ) But I know–you'll never be satisfied (Luck in the world) No, you still want me standin' by your side (Good love in the world) Memories haunt you all the time I will never leave your mind Got judgment on your side You've said bad things, and you've lied Still – I remember some of the good things, baby Like love after dark, and picnics in parks Those are the days I'll not forget–in my life I'd rather remember – remember the joy we shared, baby I'd rather remember all the fun we had All I ever really wanted was To love you and treat you right All we did was fuss and fight It don't matter, baby! Take a lesson–from it all (Ooh, hey, come on, come on, come on...) I never thought I'd see the day when you'd put me through what you put me through Did you try your best? You say I gave you no rest [Refrain] When did you stop loving me? When did I stop loving you? When did you stop loving me? When did I stop loving you? Oh, when did you stop loving me? When did I stop loving you?
