Uh, uh, uh
That’s right (Ooh...ooh...), yo’ {Ooh...ooh...} (Oh, yeah) {Ooh...ooh...}
Life is funny, ain’t it {Yeah..., oh, yeah, oh, yeah} (Come on, come on)
Sometimes you can end up with
Somebody you really don’t wanna be with {Are you ready} (Are you ready, baby)
And others left to figure it out {Ah, sing it for me, Case}
Check it

She was more than a woman, a goddess for all to see
All I ever needed was her right here lovin’ me
For a while we were cool and the groove in love was on
But I still remember how it felt when our love was gone, ooh, yeah

Tattered picture book (Ooh)
Was a photograph she took years ago
(Secret memories in her mind)
Secret memories in her mind
How could love be so unkind
Heartbreak time (My heart is breakin’, ooh...eah)

Faded pictures in a broken glass (A broken glass)
Like a mirror revealing (I see)
What the woman is feelin’ (I see you, hey...oh, yeah)
Was it someone from a distant past (Way back long ago)
‘Cause it’s breaking my heart (My heart, yeah)
To watch you stare into the glass (Joe, help me out)

As she turned through the pages, the tears rolled down her face
I can see her reminiscing why her life had to be this way
Then she stopped and she came to a page where her diary ends
To smell the scent of an old rose from her lover, I suppose

Tattered picture book {Tattered picture book}
Was a photograph she took {She took, yeah} years ago
{Secret memories in her mind}
Secret memories in her mind {Oh, oh}
How could love be so unkind {Unkind}
Heartbreak time

Faded pictures in a broken glass {In a broken glass, oh, baby}
Like a mirror revealing {Like a mirror revealing}
What the woman is feeling
{Was it someone from a distant past}
Was it someone from a distant past {Oh, oh}
‘Cause it’s breaking my heart {It’s breakin’ my heart}
To watch you stare into the glass {Stare into the glass}

{Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na}
As she stares into the glass, I’ll be waitin’
{Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na}
‘Cause she’s lost inside the past

{Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na}
As she stares into the glass, I’ll be waitin’
{Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na}
‘Cause she’s lost inside the past

Faded pictures in a broken glass (In a broken glass)
Like a mirror revealing (I feel it)
What the woman is feeling (Yeah...and I know it too)
Was it someone from a distant past (Way back long ago)
‘Cause it’s breaking my heart {You’re breakin’ my, you’re breakin’ my}
To watch you stare into the glass {You’re breakin’ my heart, girl}

Faded pictures in a broken glass
Oh...mmm...
