Story behind the song
Getting dumped and the dumper wants to continue to be friends.
Lyrics
I remember how it used to be
we enjoyed each others company
We laughed and talked and made love all night long
We were always holding hands
and making lots of plans
and sharing the things we liked to do.
But things began to change,
you started acting strange;
then you said lets just be friends.
Chorus 1
Baby I can't go back after all that; I'm just not that strong. Baby I won't go back after all that, you took my heart and now you're gone
We were gonna be man and wife
it seemed like a pretty good life
Now your love's a thing of the past
You were wearing your engagement ring
now it's in pawn shop on Main
waiting for someone else to try their luck
I loved you so much,
I miss your touch;
I wonder where your love has gone.
Chorus 2
Baby I can't go back after all that; I can't just be your friend. Baby I won't go back after all that, its time for this thing to end.
(tag) I don't need another friend.
We drove together to the park
to have a long talk
trying our best to work things out.
You said you had a change of heart
that we should be apart
You wanted some space but we could keep in tough
I tried desperately
to get you to stay with me
but that day at the park was the last time I talked to you
