Love Me Like You Never Did Before Lyrics - Lighthouse - Kim Carnes

It's been a long time since I've seen you 

And I don't know what to expect 

'Cause all the promises you made 

You never kept 

When you called to say you'd meet me here 

What was going through your mind? 

Are you running to me 

Or just running blind? 

'Cause if you're gonna set me up this time 

I'll be ready for you 

I'm playing it cool 

I'm taking a long look back 

'Cause I know I'll never forget 

That I loved you a lot 

And you tore my heart into pieces 

How do I stop all the feeling I've got 

From doing me in again 

I went out of my way 

But it just didn't pay 

If you want to see me again 

Just open the door 

And love me like you never did before 

You thought you were clever 

When you disappeared 

And kept me hanging on by a thread 

You left me drowning in tears so deep 

Way over my head 

You had to place yourself beyond my reach 

And play so hard to get 

You know you did some things to me, baby 

I'll never forget 

I know I'm taking a chance 

Letting you back in again 

If you don't need me 

There's really no use to pretend
