Just When I Thought I'd Stopped Loving You
Emotional Whirlwind: Love's Unexpected Return
Lyrics
Three o'clock in the mornin when the telephone started ringin
It's 3 o'clock in the morning, and the phone began to ring.
I had a feeling it would be you
Had a premonition that the caller would be you.
I didn't wanna take it
I didn't want to answer it initially.
But I let my imagination think of some kinda trouble you got into
Assumed you might be in some kind of trouble and let my mind wander.
And I just had to answer
Despite hesitation, I felt compelled to answer.
And you had to stop cryin
You needed comforting and stopped crying.
And I, I tried to fight it
I tried to resist the situation.
But I thought if I didn't listen to you
Considered that not listening to you wouldn't be supportive.
Then I wouldn't be much of a friend
I thought it wouldn't be right to ignore you as a friend.
I let you come over and cry on my shoulder
Allowed you to seek comfort by coming over and crying on my shoulder, repeatedly.
The hundredth time over again
Repetitive emotional distress resurfaced.
And all those old emotions came raining out of the blue
All the past feelings suddenly emerged.
Just when I thought I'd stopped lovin you
Just as I thought I moved on from loving you.
You gotta way of knowin when I'm on the edge of givin in
You have a way of sensing when I'm vulnerable.
And how to use those beautiful eyes
You know how to use your attractive eyes.
So if one day you're askin me if I ever thought that maybe we
Perhaps if you suggest giving our relationship another chance...
Oughta give it one more try
...I might consider it.
And I just had to answer
I felt compelled to respond.
And you, you had to start smilin
You started smiling.
And I thought about lyin
I contemplated lying.
But I thought if I wasn't honest with you
Decided being truthful was essential in our friendship.
Then I wouldn't be much of a friend
Didn't want to betray the trust as a friend.
I let you come over and cry on my shoulder
Allowed you to lean on me emotionally, repeatedly.
The hundredth time over again
Repeated cycles of comforting you.
And all those old emotions came raining out of the blue
All the past emotions unexpectedly resurfaced.
Just when I thought I'd stopped lovin you
Just when I believed I had moved on from loving you.
Oh I hate you for makin me crazy
Feeling frustration towards you for causing emotional turmoil.
So why is it I, I keep on takin you back, baby
Despite this, I keep allowing you back into my life.
But I thought if I didn't listen to you
Thought that ignoring you wouldn't be the right thing to do.
Then I wouldn't be much of a friend
Wanted to maintain the friendship by being there for you.
I let you come over and cry on my shoulder
Repeatedly offering emotional support.
The hundredth time over again
Repeated instances of comforting you.
And all those old emotions came raining out of the blue
Past emotions unexpectedly resurfaced again.
Just when I thought I'd stopped lovin you
Just when I believed I had moved on from loving you.
Just when I thought I'd stopped lovin you
Again, just when I thought I had moved on from loving you.
You take two steps down the highway
You seem to leave briefly but return swiftly.
But you come runnin back
You come back despite briefly leaving.
What am I supposed to do
Uncertainty about how to handle your return.
What am I supposed to do
Confusion about how to respond to your return.
What am I supposed to do with that
Feeling uncertain about dealing with your return.
Wrap my arms around you
Considering embracing you despite confusion.
Yeah yeah
Emphasizing the dilemma of whether to embrace or resist.
