I know I’m pro

 know

What he had wh

en he had it
             
And I see the 

              
permanent dama

Never again, I

I know I’m pro

Than needing a

              
 man who could

 
 change his mi

And it’s alway

gain

Like it was in

 the beginning
         
But your jealo

r it now
              
You’re talking

 
 down to me li

ke I’ll always

 be around
            
You push my lo

ve away like i

t’s some kind 

of loaded gun
         
Boy, you never

 thought I’d r
