Lyrics for Ask Me Now (Take 1)

Once you said you loved me Placed no one above me Prayed for me to make that vow What dumb thing did I say So busy being blasé How I wish you'd ask me now I was vain and bind then Prone to be unkind then Wish they'd turn back time somehow Then I was audacious I ignored what was precious How I wish you'd ask me now I thought then I'd always be Footloose and fancy free How could I have been so blind What I once made light of turned out to be true love Once my ego ruled me Flattered me and fooled me More times than the laws allow You asked me could I care My attention was elsewhere How I wish you'd ask me now
