[Verse 1]
Sorry, I don't really see this workin' out
It's nothin' you did
I just can't do this right now
No easy way to say this and I don't know how
It's nothin' you did
But here goes lettin' you down
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, you're so perfect
But he's the perfect one for me
I know that you're worth it
But somethin' 'bout him gets to me
Gets to me, all I need
Plus we got history
[Chorus]
I used to love him, he used to love me
Yeah, we go way, way, way, way back
We love, love, love like that
Now I still love him and he still loves me
Yeah, we go way, way, way, way back
We love, love, love like that
[Post-Chorus]
(We go way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way back)
[Verse 2]
I didn't know I felt the way I did before
It's nothin' I did
Now I guess I'm sure
It's like we never really ever closed that door
It's nothin' we did
But now our hearts want more
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, you're so perfect
But he's the perfect one for me
I know that you're worth it
But somethin' 'bout him gets to me
Gets to me, all I need
Plus we got history
[Chorus]
I used to love him, he used to love me
Yeah, we go way, way, way, way back
We love, love, love like that
Now I still love him and he still loves me
Yeah, we go way, way, way, way back
We love, love, love like that
[Post-Chorus]
(We go way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way back)
[Interlude]
Baby, you're so perfect, but
Baby, you're so perfect, but
Baby, you're so perfect, but
Baby, you're so perfect, but
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, you're so perfect
But he's the perfect one for me
I know that you're worth it
But somethin' 'bout him gets to me
Gets to me, all I need
Plus we got history
[Chorus]
I used to love him, he used to love me
Yeah, we go way, way, way, way back
We love, love, love like that
Now I still love him and he still loves me
Yeah, we go way, way, way, way back
We love, love, love like that
I used to love him, he used to love me
Yeah, we go way, way, way, way back
We love, love, love like that
Now I still love him and he still loves me
Yeah, we go way, way, way, way back
We love, love, love like that
[Outro]
Yeah, we go way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way back
