I loved you before you met him And I loved you even after you were wed I told you I'd never forget you That I'd be here when his love was dead Now you're back in my arms and I'm happy And I guess he knows just where he stands Cause when he lied and cheated on you That's when he dropped the world in my hands [ guitars ] Didn't he realize what he was losing To give you up he must have been insane And to him it just didn't seem to matter That his love was another man's game It's his right if he wants to be a fool But I wonder if he really understands That when he gave your love back to me That's when he dropped the world in my hands
