Lyrics

I'd Have It Just the Way We Were

Wouldn't you've known it
Wouldn't you've known
You're hardly the guessing
Hardly the guessing kind
I'm guessing you knew
Just how I thought of you all along

Now you're here again with me
I can't believe
If it's just something that we do
Despite our efforts to be true
Making time for ourselves
And other selves
This isn't done cuz we are selfishly true

I'd have it just the way we were
I'd have it just the way we were again

Wouldn't you've known it
Wouldn't you've known
You're hardly the guessing
Hardly the guessing kind
I'm guessing you knew
Just how I thought of you all along

Why would you want to spite
If there's someone wants to smile
Making time for ourselves
And other selves
This isn't done cuz we are selfish
I'm guessing that you knew
