It Always Used to Be That Way

When this old world began to get me down
You're the only one I used to turn to
You knew just exactly what to say
You know, it always used to be that way

Gazing at your tear-stained photograph
The one I took at the county fair last summer
God, we really had such fun that day
You know, it always used to be that way

Nothing's like it used to be
Nothing lasts forever
Lips that once were loving me
Now they love another, ooh

Even though I got me someone new
And I know for sure this guy, he loves me
If I have a hundred years, or two
I could love him just like I love you

Now the time has drawn us both apart
I wonder if the pain was worth the pleasure
Life's a game that once was fun to play
You know, it always used to be that way

People come, and people go
Some may last a lifetime
Summer sun to winter snow
Some just for a nighttime, ooh

When this old world began to get me down
You're the only one I used to turn to
You knew just exactly what to say
You know, it always used to be that way
You know, it always used to be that way
