You always said I'd be burned by you But I would not listen to you And now I know just what you meant I played with fire But I should have listened to all you said But you were just too perfect And I was just too lonely and I took the chance I took a chance And I'm glad I risked it all for you 'Cause I wouldn't know what love is If I didn't give my heart away to you But now I know, now I know, now I know I've learned so much and now I know That what I had for you was true love You're my first true love And I had to be taught the hard way I wanted to beg you to stay with me forever But now it's over And what I dreamed would happen didn't I thought that it could work, it couldn't be And I'm glad I risked it all for you 'Cause I wouldn't know what love is If I didn't give my heart away to you But now I know, now I know, now I know And now I know Turned my sadness into this smile And so now the pain is gone
