Lyrics

VERSE
Starin’ at the rain from my lonely hotel room
Thinkin’ I should call to say what’s on my mind
I know it’s very late; you’re sound asleep, knowin’ you
So I’m leaving you this message; it’s gonna take some time

CHORUS
I thought I was in love with you, but I must not have been
I thought I was in love with you, but lookin’ back again
It was puppy love, yes, it was, compared now to what I feel
How could I have ever known love could be this real?

VERSE
The first time we made love I couldn’t get enough of you
My love could go no higher; it was like a ragin’ fire
But it was a real small flame compared now to what I feel
How could I have known love could be this real?

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
I must not have been in love with you
The thrill’s anything but gone
I must not have known what love could do
I can’t wait to get back home

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
How could I have ever known love could be this real?
