When we first met on the rooftop of that hotel Everyone around us could see we got along well So we took the elevator straight up to the forty-second floor When we kissed in your doorway just like we've never kissed before I was in love again and I knew that you were too We've spent every night together and nothing was taboo And early in the morning with the sunlight in your hair I knew we'd stick together, you were the answer to my prayer How could I live so wrong for so long? How could I live so wrong for so long? How could I live so wrong for so long? All the time we spent together so close and true Living for each other to get us through the blues Two stars were glowing beneath the Tennessee moon We're near as we could be to Johnny Cash and June How could I live so wrong for so long? How could I live so wrong for so long? How could I live so wrong for so long? For so long For so long Then I heard a rumour from an old friend of mine That you've been seeing someone else, I never saw the signs I hope he makes you happy and that he is happy too And just like all the others I'll get over you But how could I live so wrong for so long? How could I live so wrong for so long? How could I live so wrong for so long? How could I live so wrong for so long?
