Once you said you love me
Placed no one above me
Prayed for me to make that vow
What damn thing did I say?
So busy being blasé
How I wish you'd ask me now
I was vain and binding
Prone to be unkind and
Wish that I turn back time somehow
Then I was audacious
I ignored what was precious
How I wish you'd ask me now
I thought that I'd always be
Foot loose and fancy free
How could I have been so blind?
What I once made light of
Turned out to be true love
Once my ego ruled me
Flattered me and fooled me
More times than the laws allow
You asked me could I care
My attention was elsewhere
How I wish you'd ask me now
Once you said you love me
Placed no one above me
Prayed for me to make that vow
What damn thing did I say?
So busy being blasé
How I wish you'd ask me now
Ask me now
Ask me now
