I can see you turn away when I ask what for
You say it isn't anything, but I'm not sure
Something underneath the skin won't let you be
And you try to keep it in, but I can see
The wo - man be - fore me must have been hard on you
'Cause that hurt in your eyes, I never put you through
Sometimes I think you must be talking to
The woman before me and you
Sometimes in an argument, it will show
If there are sorrows that bring back a tear
Don't let them keep us apart
You oughta know you've got nothing to fear
Here in my heart
'Cause you and I will never be like the past
The woman before me and you
