They telephoned me just to say
That nobody had the time for yesterday
And all at once, I felt so small
Started feelin' like nobody cared at all
[Chorus]
But then you called, only to say
You'll never love somebody else this way
And though I'm still battered and bruised
I forgave the world the day that I met you
Mm-mm, mm-mm
[Verse 2]
The people talk, it's background noise
I don't wanna hear nobody else's voice
There's somethin' sweet about your scent
It's like lavender came and never left
[Chorus]
And then you called, only to say
You'll never love somebody else this way
And though I'm still battered and bruised
I forgave the world the day that I met you
Mm-mm
[Bridge]
Nothin' ever seemed to go right
All my days, they just fell into nights
Until I got a little bit of you in my life
And then, suddenly, everything's bright
[Outro]
I know that there's a million different ways I could say
How you're always the best part of my day
And when you feel the need to forget the world
You can call anytime you want, call anytime you want
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
Hm
