Funny how time changes
rearranges everything
For instance how could i have known
that you'd be the only one for me
when you wanted me i didn't want you
And time changes things its true
'cause now i want you
i want you
When you used to speak to me
i didn't give you a second look
'cause i already had many guys
in my telephone book
but one day my heart spoke your name
my heart spoke your name
And time changes things its true
'cause now i want you
i want you
Funny how times turns the tables
and left me yearning, my heart burning
for instance you just past me by passed me by
you didn't speak and i wanted to die
now that i want you
you don't want me
And time changes things, it's true
you know i need you
and time changes things, it's true
i keep repeating, now
and time changes things, it's true
'cause now i want you
It's so funny
funny how time changes
funny how time rearranges
it's so funny
it's so funny how i want you
