[Verse 1]
Even though I said goodbye the thought of you still makes me cry
I know it's not easy for me to say I think it’s better off this way
[Chorus]
Take the girl in your life, and tell her that she's right
Look her right in the eyes until you break down and cry
How will I know if it is wrong or if it is right for me
To think about the one who got away?
[Verse 2]
Even though she read the book, I still don't know just what she took
It came a surprise for her to say “I am moving far away”
[Chorus]
Take the girl in your life and tell her that she’s right
Look her right in the eyes until you break down and cry
How will I know if it is wrong or if it is right for me
To think about the one who got away?
[Bridge]
Even though I said goodbye the thought of you still makes me cry
When I saw the source of light, I thought I saw you in my life
Even though I said goodbye the thought of you still makes me cry
When I saw the source of light, I thought I saw you in my life
‘Coz in my mind you were so real (Ah)
I didn't know if you were real
[Chorus]
Take the girl in your life, and tell her that she's right
Look her right in the eyes until you break down and cry
How will I know if it is wrong or if it is right for me
To think about the one who got away?
[Outro]
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah) It was late after midnight before you called
(Ah, ah) It was late after midnight before you called
How will I know if it's wrong to think about the one?
(Ah, ah)
