I was 18 and you were 17
You were the prom queen and my friends call me queer
The way you talked, the way you walked, oh whoa
I just could not get enough of you each day

Maybe you'll understand
The way you make me feel
Oh how much I just want to hold your hand

We dated for a while, a year or two
I was in love with you and you were in love with me
It seemed like nothing could ever stop us then
Just getting by each day for a while

Maybe you'll understand
The way you make me feel
Oh how much I just want to hold your hand

We got married and the kids are all grown up now
Was there something that I didn't do?
Why aren't you talking to me anymore?
Whatever happened to our royal past?

Maybe you'll understand
The way you make me feel
Oh how much I just want to hold your hand

You cried last night but there was nothing I could do
You wrote a letter to me saying goodbye
I felt devastated but that's how it's gonna be
Thank you for everything in the past 20 years

Maybe you'll understand
The way you make me feel
Oh how much I just want to hold your hand

Everything's gonna be okay between you and me...
