Verse 2:
Right now you think that she's perfection
This time is really an exception
Well, you know I hate to be a downer
But I'm the guy she left before you found her
Well, I'm not sayin' you won't have a good love with her
But I keep on rememberin' things like they were
She made me feel so bad
She made my heart feel sad
She made my days go wrong
And made my nights so long
You've got to keep in mind
[repeat chorus and bass/piano riff]
