Yeah yeah ueah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah ye-ah

I knew you when you were lonely

I knew you when you were only

A boy all alone without love

I knew you when



I knew you when

You were sad and all alone

You didn't have anyone

That you could call your own



I knew you when

Your heart belonged to only me

But that was many tears ago

Now your love is just a memory



Yeah yeah yeah ye-ah

I knew you when you were lonely

I knew you when you were only

A boy all alone without love

I knew you when



I knew you when

We used to have a lot of fun

But someone came and offered more

Now I'm the lonely one



I knew you when

I was just a scared little girl

I used to be your only love

Before you came up in the world



Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah ye-ah

I knew you when you were lonely

I knew you when you were only

A boy all alone without love
