The Band Perry
Once Upon a Time
[Intro]
Why didn't you show me?
Why didn't you let me know?
Why didn't you hold me?
Why can't you let me go?

[Verse 1]
There's a heart ache in New York City
Keeping you awake all night long
Something you forgot to say to make me stay
If I was the best you never had
Why didn't you show me?
Why didn't you let me know?
Why didn't you hold me? Yeah
Why can't you let me go?

[Chorus]
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
You wanna go back to the night we left behind
Well, maybe I don't know much about nothing, but I know a little bit about loving
There's just no going back to once upon a time

[Verse 2]
You could never be more in love with me
I saw it in your eyes on that winter night
But I never, never, never felt so cold
You hid your heart
What I don't know can't keep me warm
So, why didn't ya show me?
Why didn't you let me know?
Why didn't you hold me, hold me?
Why can't you let me go?
[Chorus]
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
You wanna go back to the night we left behind
Well, maybe I don't know much about nothing, but I know a little bit about loving
There's just no going back to once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
I could have, I could have blown your mind

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
I don't wanna go back to the night we left behind
Well, baby
I don't know much about nothing, but I know a little bit about loving
There's just no going back to once upon a time
Once upon a time
I don't wanna go back
Don't wanna go back
Don't wanna go back
'Cause, baby
I don't know much about nothing, but I know a little bit about loving
There's just no going back to once upon a time
[Outro]
Why did you let me go?
