Lyrics
I wish I'd never seen you in the bar this evening
It opened up the old scars that I thought were healing
You said you're really happy now and I don't doubt you
I still go to work, the world still turns around without you
I couldn't help but thinking have you got a new fella?
Does he make you laugh like I did, is it ... is it better?
Crows' feet in the mirror I've got a face like thunder
Thinking why should I? Why not? What if I call your number
Chorus:
And I've learned a lot
I really though we'd turn out fine
Hang on Saint Valentine
Hang on Saint Valentine
I've got plans for you
Way on down the line
I wish I'd never seen you in the bar this evening
It opened up the old scars and it set them bleeding
I said it's good to see you, you just laughed and said it isn't
Then you hid behind your smile like you knew something that I didn't
Chorus:
And I've learned a lot
I really though we'd turn out fine
Hang on Saint Valentine
Hang on Saint Valentine
I've got plans for you
Way on down the line
Middle 8:
Maybe I'm a fool, I'm a fool for you
Still remember how you looked the first time I met you
Did you change your hair? Did you change your mind?
Did you just step out and slip on that dress one more time?
Chorus:
And I've learned a lot
I really though we'd turn out fine
Hang on Saint Valentine
Hang on Saint Valentine
I've got plans for you
Way on down the line
