I’ve been in love beforeI am no stranger to that sweet little rushYou feel when your hands accidentally touchWhen you start out with somebody newI’ve been in love beforeDanced home from Sunday school giddy with joyTo scribble, “Dear diary, I just met a boyAnd I don’t care what consequence it brings”I’ve been in love beforeDragged by my mother to church to confess,“Forgive me dear father my sins of the flesh”But I did not repent anythingI’ve been in love beforeDeeper than any heart could possibly fallSome lover whose name I no longer recallWhose face I cannot picture any moreYes I’ve been in love, I’ve been in love beforeI’m not a liar so I’m not going to sayI have not thought about you in that tender old wayBut falling in love’s not so simple as when we were youngSo if I don’t swoon like all those sweet seventeensIt doesn’t mean you can’t be the man of my dreamsSee, I just don’t dream so much any moreCos I’ve been in love, I’ve been in love beforeI’ve been in love beforeHe promised to care for me, build me a homeHe gave this illness to keep in my bonesAnd took off with everything elseI’ve been in love beforeAnd love left me beat up and broke at the seamsSo if I say, “It’s complicated”, well, you know what I meanDon’t know what’s left here for youOr what the hell else I can doIt’s just a feeling but you can never be sureCos I’ve been in love, I’ve been in love before
I've Been in Love Before
