Thinking back to the time
when I was so into you
I thought that
I knew it all
My perception of love
was it was
something to do
But I didn't
expect the fall
I understand your
feelings now
I know I must have
let you down
But I wonder would
you be around
If I loved you
the right way
Loved you
the right way
I would have put that
smile upon your face
And loved you
the right way
Never thought that
I'd thank you for the
hurt and the pain
And the changes
it put me through
Guess I needed to look
at my intentions again
I didn't give
enough to you
My mind has never
been so clear
And I feel my
happiness is near
But I wonder would
you still be here
If I loved you
the right way
You deserve
the right way
I should have put that
smile upon your face
I should have kept you
in my warm embrace
And loved you
the right way
Sometimes love
is so mistaken
Simple values
pushed aside
Modern love
is just a ride
And when it's over
no one seems to care
If I ever find myself
with someone new
I'll remember what
I learned from you
And I'll love her
the right way
Love her
the right way
I will put that smile
upon your face
I'll keep her warm
in my embrace
I will love you baby
Gonna make each
day a better day
I'm never gonna
sacrifice her needs
I'll love her
the right way
I'm gonna love...
you baby
Forever see the
smile upon your face
I'll love you
the right way
I'm gonna love...
you baby
Ooh!
