I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT

It was late January, a year ago
You were sifting through some papers
When a note fell to the floor
And the way you rushed to grab it
I had to laugh, I made a joke
Then I never thought about it anymore

I might have wondered why you didn't laugh
When I teased you, "What's her name?"
Why you quickly changed the subject
And started talking 'bout some game
I might have wondered what you mumbled
When I said, "I love you so"
But I never thought about it anymore

CHORUS: No I never thought about it
Cause I knew our love was real
And I'd never learned to doubt
The magic way you made me feel
Though I'd never heard you hesitate
To say, "I love you so"
Still I never thought about it anymore

And all through the springtime
I could feel the weather change
There were weekend trips and conference calls
And meetings to arrange
And though you used to say your
Love went with me everywhere you'd go
It seemed you never thought about it anymore

BRIDGE:
And every time I would
Search out your eyes
There'd be somebody hiding
Just out of sight

I came home one April evening
And the message light was on
When I heard her voice I knew at once
And I cried until the dawn
Then I left the love remaining
In a note upon the door
And I never thought about it anymore

CHORUS:
No I never thought about it
Cause I knew it wasn't real
And I'll never figure out the kind of
Pain you made me feel
And it hurt me most to know that I'm
The fool who loved you so
So I never thought about it anymore

Except for late at night and all day long
And everywhere I go
No I never thought about it anymore
No I never thought about it anymore
