We said our goodbyes (ah the night before)

Love was in your eyes (ah the night before)

Now today I find you have changed your mind

Treat me like you did the night before

Were you telling lies (ah the night before)

Was I so unwise (ah the night before)

When I held you near you were so sincere

Treat me like you did the night before

Last night is a night I will remember you by

When I think of things we did it makes me wanna cry

We said our goodbyes (ah the night before)

Love was in your eyes (ah the night before)

Now today I find you have changed your mind

Treat me like you did the night before

When I held you near you were so sincere

Treat me like you did the night before

Last night is a night I will remember you by

When I think of things we did it makes me wanna cry

Were you telling lies (ah the night before)

Was I so unwise (ah the night before)

When I held you near you were so sincere

Treat me like you did the night before

Like the night before
