I've watched you growin' up
While we have grown apart
Happy birthday from the bottom of my heart
We're deep in darkness
That stirs a memory
Of happier moments
When you were lovin' me

When you were lovin' me
When you were lovin' me
You taught me to feel
But you couldn't help me see
A time would come when I'd wanna forget when you were lovin' me

Like dust collectin'
In a corner of the room
I sit expectin'
That I'll see you very soon
I should have known better
It's never gonna be
Gone are the good times
When you were lovin' me

You put dancin' in my life babe
And a glitter in my eye
I was young and I was troubled
But you helped me to get by
You put laces on my shoes babe
Hot cakes on my menu
I can't help but think about you
Back when you were lovin' me
When you were lovin' me
When you were lovin' me
You taught me to feel
But you couldn't help me see
A time would come when I'd wanna forget when you were lovin' me

You put dancin' in my life babe
And a glitter in my eye
I was young and I was troubled
But you helped me to get by
You put laces on my shoes babe
Hot cakes on my menu
I can't help but think about you
Back when you were lovin' me
