Saw a girl that I used to know

I was deep in thought at the time

Didn't recognize her face at first

'Cos I was probably looking at mine

Yeah well she was the only girl I've ever loved

But my folks didn't dig her so much

I was young, it was serious

And to me she was the world (she was my world now)

I thought I'd never live without her but

I got by in time

Well let me tell ya now

I saw a guy that I used to know

Man he's changed so much

I think it hurt him to say hello

He hardly opened his mouth

Yeah well he was my best friend a few years ago

Truly inseparable

We were young (young), and full of ideas,

We were gonna rule this whole world

But something happened I didn't know why

And well that's the way that it goes

I suppose

What you say, what you do

Don't mean nothing (nothing) (nothing at all) yeah

And all the bonds you make between

Can be broken anytime you want, now

Please tell me if my philosophy's wrong

I've got to know the truth

I don't mean to fail anyone but

You know it's somethin' I do o-o-oh

So nice to see you tonight

And I'm so glad that you came

I'm sure the people all standing outside say

'Sure feel the same'

Yeah my point is in a roundabout way

In time you will always forget

'Cos the memories (memories) that are shouting me on

To me they're everything (they're everything now)

I know they always will be mine

And no-one can take them away
