Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
In a cozy little restaurant for lovers It seems so out of place for you and me We used to play around under the covers But now it's just a place to watch TV [Chorus:] So love me like you used to When our love was brand new And darlin' when we're through You can love me again. And hold me like you want to Instead of like you have to Love me like you used to love me When you used to love me. Baby we could use a long vacation But the trouble here is bound to tag along We used to be each other's inspiration When it only took my touch to turn you on [Chorus] Well we used to sit and talk about forever But now we hardly ever talk at all We walked a lot of tight ropes together We always caught each other when we'd fall [Chorus] Love me like you used to When you used to love me...
