lyrics from reprint of 1985 sheet music / / / / You always say you like my style; You say I'm tough and kind of wild. Am I too much for you to tame? I swear this time It's not a game. I've known a lot of girls; No, this I won't deny. I'll give our love, I'll give it more than a try. That was then This is now. Let me prove my love, girl; I'll make you proud. I never made This kind of vow. But that was then and this is now. I've led a thousand lives, it seems; There's been a lot of broken dreams. My mind, it just swept love aside. But you broke me down, You've put me wise. I doubted all compassion, But you showed me the score. I can't doubt it, I don't doubt it no more That was then This is now. Let me prove my love, girl; I'll make you proud. I never made This kind of vow. But that was then and this is now. 3RD VERSE INSTRUMENTAL SOLO AD LIB That was then This is now. Let me prove my love, girl; I'll make you proud. I never made This kind of vow. But that was then and this is now. But that was then and this is now.
