the man i used to be

i saw us dancing in a dream last night

just like we used to do when it was me and you

i heard you whisper 'can you feel my heart?'

like we would never part

i know i've only got myself to blame

i saw an open door and i just wanted more

i made my move

i left you standing there

the world was waiting for a boy like me

gimme! gimme! i want all that i see

how could i be such a fool?

oh

the man i used to be

did me no favour

and it's only now i know

oh

oh

what a wonder is your love

what a wonder is your love

since you've been gone i've seen so many girls

they captivate my eye but i just walk on by

behind each face i see an empty space

i look for you inside

i keep on searching every night and day

hoping the next i see will be the one for me

but all around me it's your memory

if i knew then the things that i know now

just how precious is a lover's vow

i would not be such a fool

oh

the man i used to be

did me no favour

and it's only now i know

oh

oh

what a wonder is your love

all those ruby lips i kissed

soon lost their flavour

and it's only now i know

oh

oh

what a wonder is your love

what a wonder is your love

i was a fool to lose your love

i went and threw away your love

oh baby

now i need your love
