and smile every time she turns?"

 

He doesn't really see her

he's trying to recreate

something that he used to know

and he's doing it for old time's sake

 

She gazes on his handsomeness

barely scratching the surface

she says, "I really need you now"

and her eyes are full of love

he takes her words as she his looks

making the moment last

he tells her he can read her "like a book"

but he's only reading the past

 

'Cause he doesn't really see her

he's trying to recreate

something that he used to know

and he's doing it for old time's sake

 

No

he doesn't really see her

he's trying to recreate

something that he used to know

and he's doing it for old time's sake

yes, he's doing it for old time's sake

he’s doing it

for old time's sake

  

 

Old Time’s Sake

 

She's not at all the prettiest

she's in love with how he looks

she sees him as a glossy ad

in some fashion magazine or book

none of his friends can figure it

 

   "What's he doing with her?

    Why does he touch her hair that way
