[Verse 1]
|
Came so close that I could touch it,
|
even had the ring on my left hand.
|
I was so caught up in thinking that I finally found the right man,
|
that I couldnt see that ya love for me wasnt equal.
|
And you didnt wanna kiss me or hold me in front of other people.
|
|
[Bridge]
|
I almost took it for a priest fear,
|
but now i see there's no use keeping ya.
|
I know I cant make you love me.
|
So there's no use chasing ya no more.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Now I see when you've got the real thing.
|
You shouldn't have to try that hard.
|
You should wanna be where you are.
|
Now I see when you've got the real thing.
|
You shouldn't have to try that hard.
|
You should wanna be where you are.
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
My friends said they could see it.
|
Knew from the beginning you were no good,
|
But whene your in love your so blind,
|
and you cant see the things that you should.
|
But I dont regret havin been with you,
|
Cause I learned that
|
Never give ya love up all at once.
|
Always gotta earn that.
|
|
[Bridge]
|
I almost took it for a priest fear,
|
but now i see there's no use keeping ya.
|
I know I cant make you love me.
|
So there's no use chasing ya no more.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Now I see when you've got the real thing.
|
You shouldn't have to try that hard.
|
You should wanna be where you are.[You should wanna be where you are.]
|
Now I see when you've got the real thing.
|
You shouldn't have to try that hard.[You shouldn't have to,yeah yeaah yeah]
|
You should wanna be where you are.
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
Don't feel bad for me,
|
Cause thanks to you
|
Baby now I see what a real man should do.
|
And I know he'll be nothing like you.
|
And I'll never have to cry [no].
|
No more No more No more.
|
And he'll never ever lie.
|
For sure I know it for sure.
|
And he wont act different,
|
when he's around his boys.
|
He'll show me much love no matter how much.
|
I'll be the one he adores.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Now I see when you've got the real thing.
|
You shouldn't have to try that hard.
|
You should wanna be where you are.
|
Now I see when you've got the real thing.
|
You shouldn't have to try that hard.
|
You should wanna be where you are.
