[Verse 1] Well I'd like to see you in 25 years
When you are grown old and you lowered your ears
You have found a man who understands and you're on your way
And I'd like to take you out to eat
To your favorite place and meet
Our old friends have some cigarettes and then we'd leave

[Chorus] But I know you wouldn't have it that way
Ooh it's never gonna be the same
Every time they mention your name
I tell them all to stop
'Cause they don't want what's comin' next

[Verse 2] I ask myself where to go from here
When I've, I've given up the past three years
To a little girl who told me all her fears
Sometimes I find myself walkin' around these hot summer streets
They know who I am, but they don't know that it's me

[Chorus] But I know you wouldn't have it that way
Ooh it's never gonna be the same
Every time they mention your name
I tell them all to stop
'Cause they don't want to

[Verse 3] Hear me say that I was wrong
And that I gladly take you back
They don't wanna hear me tell God's honest truth
And that the phrase "I love you" was just as true
And that the one who was lyin' was you

[Chorus] But I know you wouldn't have it that way
Ooh it's never gonna be the same
Every time they mention your name
I tell them all to stop
'Cause they don't want, yeah
