Lyrics Dionne Warwick

Dionne Warwick

How You Once Loved Me

I've passed the point of reason

Of caring how I feel

What used to matter most to me

Has no importance now

I wish I knew how to love again

I kept most all your presents

In the bureau down the hall

And when I'm into huting me

I look them thru

And I think of you, and how you loved me

How you once loved me

How we once loved

How could I ever know

You meant to love me so

We got so far to go

How could you ever know

I meant to love you, too

There are no rhymes or reasons

Why people carry on

From the day young girls discover

They're different from little boys

And love is just a toy

They can play with

And we were just as foolish

Now I can't be that way

Maybe you feel just as strange

And too afraid to say

I can find a way to say I love you

How you once loved me

How we once loved

How could I ever know

You meant to love me so

We got so far to go

How could you ever know

I meant to love you, too
