What Happened to the Real Me

You went away without a warning

left me in a cold world on my own

you molded me into your special woman

now the soul i have is not my own

look at me, my love

what happened to the real me?

look what you've done, my love

why'd you do what you did to me?

i tried to win your love

you were cold, you kept your love from me

i tried to warm your heart

now my heart is crying constantly

look at me, my love

what happened to the real me?

look what you've done, my love

why'd you do what you did to me?

How did you possess my soul?

tell me why do i still need you so?

i feel the pain, pain of nothing

without you by my side, i can't, i won't go on

& right now i feel your arms so warm around me

but you're gone, baby, oh, you're gone

look at me, my love

what happened to the real me?

look what you've done, my love

why'd you do what you did to me?

look at me, my love

what happened to the real me?

look what you've done, my love

oooh

look at me, my love

what happened to the real me?

look at me, my love

what happened to the real me?

look at me, my love

what happened to the real me?
