When we first met on the rooftop of that hotel
Everyone around us could see we got along well
So we took the elevator straight up to the forty-second floor
When we kissed in your doorway just like we've never kissed before
I was in love again and I knew that you were too
We've spent every night together and nothing was taboo
And early in the morning with the sunlight in your hair
I knew we'd stick together, you were the answer to my prayer
How could I live so wrong for so long?
How could I live so wrong for so long?
How could I live so wrong for so long?
All the time we spent together so close and true
Living for each other to get us through the blues
Two stars were glowing beneath the Tennessee moon
We're near as we could be to Johnny Cash and June
How could I live so wrong for so long?
How could I live so wrong for so long?
How could I live so wrong for so long?
For so long
For so long
Then I heard a rumour from an old friend of mine
That you've been seeing someone else, I never saw the signs
I hope he makes you happy and that he is happy too
And just like all the others
I'll get over you
But how could I live so wrong for so long?
How could I live so wrong for so long?
How could I live so wrong for so long?
How could I live so wrong for so long?
