It Took a Song

Every song on the radio seems like it's talking about me

A message from another voice telling me I made the wrong choice, oh no

I close my eyes and shed a tear

The music makes me wish you were here

Girl, since I let my baby go, I know I made a mistake

Cause it took a song to make me understand

It took a song to make me be a man

It took a song to make me understand

It took a song to make me miss you

The silence of a melody, it gave me time to see

See just how wrong I've been

Please come back before this song ends

Now I am the lonely one and you are the reason

Girl, I know I was wrong, and I heard it in a song

Cause it took a song to make me understand

It took a song to make me be a man

It took a song to make me understand

It took a song to make me miss you

Cause it took a song to make me understand

It took a song to make me be a man

It took a song to make me understand

It took a song to make me miss you

Now all I ask for is all over again

Will I ever hear (will I ever hear)

Hear your melody (your melody) and your song again

It's been so long (so long)

Baby come back home (baby come back home)

I know I was wrong

Cause it took a song to make me understand

It took a song to make me be a man

It took a song to make me understand

It took a song to make me miss you

Cause it took a song to make me understand

It took a song to make me be a man

It took a song to make me understand

It took a song to make me miss you

I don't know why (I don't know why)

See I was a fool (I was a fool, oh baby yeah)

See I don't know why

I let my baby go (lady)

I don't know why (tell me why)

See I was a fool (oh so sorry babe)

See I don't know why (yes, I am)

I let my baby go (baby)

Cause it took a song to make me understand

It took a song to make me be a man

It took a song to make me understand
