When I first met you you were young
You were so unsure who you were
You always whispered all your words
It seemed you never finished what you wanted to say
You always hung around on the wrong side of the tracks
In a hurry you said, I'm leaving and I won't look back
You know I remember when you took off it was just like that
Keep on trying to reckon you were always looking hard for someone to cut you some slack
But, when are you gonna realize I really truly do care?
When are you gonna realize I really truly do care?
I drifted from town to town
Occasionally I even thought of settling down
I, you, me, we talk from time to time
About trying to do something with our lives
I might've waited for you, like you waited for me
But you know I only found I was conflicting with myself
Oh what a battle that it is
Trying to find out what is real
When am I gonna realize I really truly do care?
When am I gonna realize I really truly do care?
When will I realize love is right here?
When am I gonna realize love is the only thing that's real?
