[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
You never took the time to know me
You never took the time to understand
You never took the time to know me
Cause loving you is all I ever had
Said loving you is all I ever had

[Verse 2]
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 explain
Girl I dont know what I'm doing wrong
I can't believe that your love is gone
Cuz

[Chorus]
You never took the time to know me
You never took the time to understand
You never took the time to know me
Cause loving you is all I ever had
Said loving you is all I ever had

[Bridge (instrumental)]
Oooh yeah
You're all I need
You're all I see
And I wish that we could do it again

[Chorus]
Cause you never took the time to know me
You never took the time to understand
Said you never took the time to know me
Because of you I'm just a lonely man
