Contrary to what you think
It wasn't such a long time ago
Contrary to what you choose to believe
I still love you
And you don't know how much I care
I bought you flowers
When all you wanted was for me to hold your hand
And am sorry, sorry
I wrote you letters
When I should have picked up the phone and called you
Now teach me to love you
Then I'll know the words to say
Oh teach me to love you
Then I'll know how to show you that I care
I heard every word you said
Somehow forgot to pay attention to emotion
Thought I was doing everything right
Last thing I expected to find was your bags at the door
Now what am I supposed to tell our children
How do I say we both agreed to walk away
No no, please stay, stay
And teach me to love you
Then I'll know the words to say
Oh teach me to love you
Then I'll know how to show you that I care
I love you - I care
I love you - (Yeah)
I love you - I care
I love you - please stay
And teach, teach me to love you
Then I'll know the words to say
Oh teach me to love you
Then I'll know how to show you that I care
