Deep down inside
I know I still love him
But he`ll never know
Cause I`ll never tell
I`ll confide that I`m thinking of him
And wishing him well
I can`t walk up to him and say to him
Baby, what you been doing
I still love you like I did
You know, nothing`s really changed here
But being the way I am
I keep it hid
Lately I`ve seen
That look in his eyes
That just breaks my heart
He needs me so
To lean on at this moment
Oh why can`t I walk up to that old love of mine and say
Baby, what you been doing
I still love you like I did
You know, nothing`s really changed here
But being the way I am
I keep it hid
Maybe someday I`ll throw off my foolish pride
This ain`t so good
Watching him die this way
Cause he`s the same guy inside
Oh why can`t I walk up to that old love of mine and say
Baby, what you been doing
I still love you like I did
You know, nothing`s really changed here
But being the way I am
I keep it hid
