If we have happened back in '87
I woulda been picking you up in my daddy's buick, instead of this beat up truck
I woulda dressed like Madonna, walkin' out in leather and lace
Woulda went with you to Guns N' Roses, woulda gone with you anyplace
Oh, and if I broke your heart, I woulda made you a mixtape
Woulda filled your machine with "call me backs" till ya called me back
Till ya heard me say

I'm sorry
I'm sorry, gotta make this right
You're the one I don't wanna loose
Everyday, girl, I choose you
Ain't it strange to think about how [?] the way it is now
The way it's gonna be's the way it's always been
Then, now, now, now and then
Now and then

If you were the guy in the tight blue jeans
I'd be the girl playing hard to get
At a bar, downtown, turn and I see
Mmmm, that's how we met

Oh, and if I broke your heart, I woulda made you a mixtape
Woulda filled your machine with "call me backs." till ya called me back
Till ya heard me say
I'm sorry
I'm sorry, gotta make this right
You're the one I don't wanna loose
Everyday, girl, I choose you
Ain't it strange to think about how [?] the way it is now
The way it's gonna be's the way it's always been
Then, now, now, now and then
Now and then

I'm just a guy in faded blue jeans
I'm just a girl in leather and lace
Why can't it be like it used to be?
Like it used to be, ya

Ain't it strange to think about how [?] the way it is now
The way it's gonna be's the way it's always been
Then, now, now, now and then
Now and then
