I was listening to the radio I heard a song reminded me of long ago Back then I thought that things were never gonna change It used to be that I never had to feel the pain I know that things will never be the same now I wanna go back And do it all over again But I can't go back I know I wanna go back Cause I'm feeling so much older But I can't go back I know I recall hanging out on Friday night The first slow dance Hoping that I'll get it right Back then I thought I'd never ever stand alone It used to be that a lonely heart was never shown I know that things will never be the same I wanna go back And do it all over again But I can't go back I know I wanna go back Cause I'm feeling so much older But I can't go back I know Can't go back I can't go back I know now that things will never be the same I said I wanna go back And do it all over again But I can't go back I know I wanna go back Cause I'm feeling so much older But I can't go back I know I wanna go back And do it all over again But I can't go back I know I wanna go back Cause I'm feeling so much older But I can't go back I know I wanna go back And do it all over again But I can't go back I know I wanna go back Cause I'm feeling so much older But I can't go back I know No, no And do it all over
