Didn't really want to say good by
   i was torn between love and pride
   you kissed the child in me
   went and brought about a lady
   lovin' times always seem to change
   i guess i'm part to blame
   we lost our eye to eye
   day and night i only cry
   well your pushing got the best of me
   a time i'd thought i'd never leave
   iift the hands that had a hold on me
   now it's time to breathe
  
   cause you meant the world to me
   but i had other needs
   to be the girl of someone's eye
   and not a type that you could love and hide
   cause you had to take control
   so i just had to go
   i'm sorry how it had to be
   but you meant the world to me
  
   the love always blinded me
   so disguised i could'nt see
   your eyes seemed so sincere
   i didn't notice any trouble there
   but you went and turned your love on me
   only wanted me lock and key
   didn't understand my thoughts and ways
   pretty soon you said i'd changed
  
   chorus
  
   you meant the world to me
   you meant the world
   people tell you stand by your man
   if it's love through thick and thin
   but you wouldn't go and let it be
   so now it's time for me yeah
  
   chorus
