I find it hard to shed a tear,
brought it on yourself my dear
and wrong, yes, I may be...
don't leave a light on for me
'cause I ain't comin' home
it hurts me baby to be alone

yes, it hurts me baby

a hundred years could never ease...
there are things I won't believe
I saw it with my own two eyes
all the pain, I can't hide
and this pain starts in my heart
and this love tears us apart
I'll finally get down, on my knees...oh yeah
ain't bendin' over backwards baby..not to please...oh oooh

'cause I'm seeing things for the first time
oh I'm seeing things for the first time
oh yeah I'm seeing things for the first time
in my life...in my life...yeah

and I used to dream of better days that never came
and sorry ain't nothin' to me...I'm gone and that's the way it must be
so please, I've done my time...lovin' you was such a crime
you won't find me down on...on my knees...oh no no no
won't find me over backwards baby..just to please..oh yeah yeah yeah

'cause I'm seein' things for the first time
I'm seein' things for the first time
seein' things for the first time
oh I'm seein' things for the first time
yeah seein' things for the first
for the first time...in my life, in my life...oh yeah...
