Diana Ross - All The Befores lyrics

(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson) Thought i could make it Without you Thought i could walk away And never look back Thought i had the secret To stop these eyes from crying Told myself he were no good So what's the need in trying But as you see, here i am Loving you stronger than ever Promising to be better Getting into my head I don't know how To be nothing but yours I guess i should have learned From all the befores I wrote a nice long letter Explaining my reasons for leaving Hoping it would tear you apart And leave you grieving I bet you didn't even read it You're so familiar with the lines You just glanced up at the clock 'cause you knew the exact time i'd knock Without pride Here i stand Waiting for your forgiveness This is where i belong Come what may This time i'll stay You might as well lock all the doors I guess i should have learned From all the befores Promising to be better And getting into my head I don't know how to be nothing but yours I guess i should have learned From all the befores
