Yeah   yeah   yeah   yeah   yeah   yeah   yeah   yeah   yeah
I knew you when you were lonely       
I knew you when you were only
A girl all alone without love         
I knew you when

I knew you when you were sad and all alone....
You didn't have anyone that you could call your own
I knew you when your heart belonged to only me
I used to be your only love  Now your love is just a memory....

Yeah   yeah   yeah   yeah   yeah yeah
I knew you when you were lonely       
I knew you when you were only
A girl all alone without love         
I knew you when
I knew you when - we used to have a lot of fun....

But someone else could offer more     
Now I'm the lonely one...
I knew you when you were just a scared little girl
But that was many tears ago 
Before you came up in the world

Yeah   yeah   yeah   yeah   yeah   yeah   yeah   yeah   yeah
I knew you when you were lonely       
I knew you when you were only
A girl all alone without love 
I knew you when.
