The look that's on your face
Time could not erase
My friends keep telling me
That everything would be alright, alright

Well, I don't know if, if it can
It's hard for me
Won't you try to understand now

Giving love is so hard to do
When the one you love doesn't really love you
A warm embrace, a smiling face
It's only make-believe, only in your mind

You're out of touch with reality
Lost in the world without a dream
I did it all for love
And love walked out on me, on me

You wish upon a star
That love won't break your heart
But you know in your mind
That love is never kind to lie, oh...

Well, I don't know who I am
I tried as hard as any man can, I know
I don't know, I don't even know who I am
Won't you try, try to understand now

Giving love is so hard to do
When the one you love doesn't really love you
It's just a warm embrace, a smiling face
Only make-believe, only in your mind

You're out of touch with reality
Lost in the world without a dream
I did it all for love
And love walked out on me, yeah, yeah

If there's someone, somewhere
That can be a witness
To what I'm singin' about
Don't be ashamed
From right there where you are
Wherever you may be
I want you to just
Just say this with me

Say yeah (yeah)
Say yeah, whoa... (yeah)
Say yeah, mmm (yeah)
Say yeah, mmm
Say yeah (yeah)
Hear you say yeah (yeah)
Say yeah, whoa... (yeah)
Say yeah, oh...

(I've been down before)
(I've been down before)
Whoa-oh-oh...
I've been down before, say again
Say yeah, I've been down before
Just a little louder
Say yeah, mmm, I've been down before...
