Took a chance

Rolled the dice on me and you

Opened up, let you in my world

Like a dance, started slow and then love took control

Swept away, so proud to be your girl

When you write a story much too fast

Sometimes a happy ending doesn't last

Now I know that love ain't meant to be a play thing

Now I know it's not an ordinary, everyday thing

Now I know that when it's right, it's so amazing

When it's wrong, you gotta let it go

Now I know

Now I know

Remember when we said our love would last forever?

But then again, how are we to know?

There comes a time, that love will change like stormy weather

A sunny day will suddenly turn cold

Time will teach you all you need to learn

But there'll always be a first time you get burned

Oh, whoa

Now I know that love ain't meant to be a play thing

Now I know it's not an ordinary, everyday thing

Now I know that when it's right, it's so amazing

When it's wrong, you gotta let it go

Now I know

Now I know

I don't regret a single day

Joy and pain along the way

A broken heart's the price we pay

As sad as it may seem

Baby, can't you see?

It's the way it's gotta be

Now I know that love ain't meant to be a play thing

Now I know it's not an ordinary, everyday thing

Now I know that when it's right, it's so amazing

When it's wrong, you gotta let it go

Now I know

Now I know

Yeah, no no

Now I know
