Bryan Adams

Pardon me,
Have you got the time
To let me say hello.
Couldn't help but see
That you look like a lady I used to know
A long time ago.

Remember the time we spent together.
Remember the days I dreamt forever.
Remember the nights we stayed together.
Whatever I do I still remember.

It's hard to believe
That I held her up
And then she let me down.
Someone's sayin' to me
That she broke my heart and left me
Spinnin' round and round and round.

Remember the time we spent together.
Remember the days I dreamt forever.
Remember the nights we stayed together.
Whatever I do I still remember.

Things you said to me
Sentimentally
Are always on my mind.
Seems you haunted me
But you set me free
Long before you gave me time to escape.

The next time
I'll be on my way
'Cause it's time, it's true
I'm turning my back on you.

Don't ya say it,
Don't say you need me
You don't need me,
Don't even try.

Don't ya say it,
Don't say you want me,
You don't mean it,
Don't say good-bye.

You threw love at me
Indispensab'ly,
But you never could give it away.
And it seems to me
That you'd never be,
That's why I'll never stay with you.

You can't hold me down
'Cause it's my life too,
So this time it's true,
I'm turning my back on you
.
Don't ya say it,
Don't say you want me,
You don't mean it,
Don't even try.

Don't ya say it,
Don't say you need me,
You don't mean it,
Don't say good-bye.

Don't ya say it,
Don't say you need me,
You don't need me,
Don't even try.

Don't ya say it,
Don't say you want me,
You don't mean it,
Don't say good-bye.

Now you know
That i stood outside your window
Just a little too long.

What you're gonna do
When the hours pass away
And you know that i'm gone.
Well, it may be a week,
It may be a day,
I'm six blocks over
And i don't know what to say to you.

Jokin' 'bout your mama
Went a little too far.
But you caught me
Out with the others
Till the early dawn.

There may be a time
If we played it right
I'm six blocks over
And you wanna spend a night with me.

Now the hours and the minutes
Just fly away.
You win some and you lose some,
You gotta get it right
Or i'll be saying
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye.

Thinkin' back to
The way you're holdin' me down,
I'd be better off dead.

Now you know
That the time is running out
Of the things we said.

Well, it may be a week,
It may be a day,
I'm six blocks over
And i don't know what to say to you.

Now the hours and the minutes
Just fly away.
You win some and you lose some,
You gotta get it right
Or i'll be saying
Bye bye bye bye ...

I'm riding in the middle
Halfway into you
And halfway into something else,
I dont't know what to do.
You said you'd make it easy,
You said you'd take the time,
But you call it off
Before I change my mind.

'Cause you're not decidin'
You're only hidin' from love.
You can't deny it,
You're only hidin' from love.

Well, I've been makin' changes,
But you've been changin' too.
You were hopin' love was somethin' else,
I was hopin' it was you.
You said you'd make it easy, babe,
You said you'd take the time,
But you call it off
Before I change my mind.

Cause you're not decidin'
You're only hidin' from love.
You can't deny it,
You're only hidin' from love.

I know you're tryin',
But you're only hidin' from love.
You say you're shy,
But you're only hidin' from love.

I know that you're curious,
So don't be serious,
You know there's no cause for alarm.

When you're down - out
Left here in doubt,
All the things that are right will go wrong.

Love is a state of mind,
It's keepin' us both alive,
Sometimes it's hard to find.
Love's in a state of mind.

Wait just a minute,
You know that it's finished,
So don't you go carry it on.

Cause I'm down - out
Left here in doubt,
Well, we try but we can't get along.

Love is a state of mind,
It's keepin' us both alive,
Sometimes it's hard to find.
Love's in a state of mind.
