I Didn't Realize

Seems like not long ago Now two years have passed I took you for granted It ended too fast 'cuz I I wasn't payin' much attention To your needs, girl You tried and tried a million times You cried to me, girl But I couldn't see The pain you went through I was killin' you soft But I never knew, 'til I found I found it in that lonely place You left for me, girl And now it's killin' me That's how it's got to be, girl Girl, you build my heart to break it down Here I'm cryin' out but no one's around What does it matter now? What does it matter now? I didn't realize that I love you Till the day that you stopped lovin' me I didn't realize that I cared for you Till I heard the news that you're leaving me Now I realize that I love you And I'm hopin' that it's not too late Please pack your bags and come on back 'Cuz now I realize that I'm in love with you Two weeks have gone My life is a mess The closets are empty Not even a dress girl, remains I sit and wonder what I could've done to please you Is this the penalty for times I would mistreat you? Now there are no lips to kiss And no hand to hold There's no one to hear me When I bare my soul and to see To see you with somebody else Would drive me crazy Knowing you wanna fall in love And have a baby I'm standing here, broken down Cryin' out, but girl, you're not around What does it matter now? What does it matter now? I didn't realize that I love you Till the day that you stopped lovin' me I didn't realize that I cared for you Till I heard the news that you're leaving me Now I realize that I love you And I'm hopin' that it's not too late Please pack your bags and come on back 'Cuz now I realize that I'm in love with you I apologize For all the wrong things that I done I'm sorry, babe For all the right things that I didn't do One thing that can change a man Is living alone Come back home, oh I didn't realize that I love you Till the day that you stopped lovin' me I didn't realize that I cared for you Till I heard the news that you're leaving me Now I realize that I love you And I'm hopin' that it's not too late Please pack your bags and come on back 'Cuz now I realize that I'm in love with you Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah) Yeah, yeah, yeah (Come on, come on back to me) Yeah, yeah, yeah (I'm sorry) Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, oh oh) Now I realize that I love you And I'm hopin' that it's not too late Please pack your bags and come on back 'Cuz now I realize that I'm in love with you Please pack your bags and come on back 'Cuz now I realize that I'm in love with you
