Living in the past
Freddie & The Dreamers Lyrics

I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame
It has been a long time since we had a spark of love

We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain
Our relationship had its ups and downs

Now you got your man, I got my staff, and we laugh
We have moved on and are happy with our current situations

Then I realize it was something in the past
Our relationship was in the past and we have both moved on

Yo, you look good; how you been?
You look great, how have you been?

How's my little man; how's he doing?
I hope your child is doing well

And, umm, did you get the package that I sent?
I sent you a package and I hope you received it

I hope that he knows that there's someone who loves him
I hope your child knows that they are loved

But I'm gettin vexed at you and I
But I'm starting to feel frustrated with our current conversation

I can't front, baby; yeah, you still look fly
I can't pretend, you still look beautiful

And as I try to get my words together
I am trying to gather my thoughts

There's a lot of nice times that I start to remember
I am remembering the good times we shared

The good shit always outweighed the bad
The good times we shared were more than the bad

I never wanted to make you sad
I never intended to hurt you

So think of me, as one man
Think of me as one person

Who has crazy respect for you, as a woman
I have a lot of respect for you as a woman

Although the plans didn't work out
Although our plans didn't work out

It doesn't mean I won't look out
I will still be there for you

For you and yours; I wish you the best
I wish the best for you and your family

Because it's over, I guess
Our relationship has ended

Now I'm livin' the life of a true mack
Now I am living the life of a player

Devoted to my music, tryin' hard not to look back
I am focused on my music and not dwelling on the past

But on occasion I can see your face
But sometimes I remember your face

The memories, they got me driftin' a little taste
The memories make me reminisce a little

But now you're doin' your thing; I'm takin' care of mine
You are living your life and I am living mine

And so we're movin' on, leavin' the past behind
We are moving forward, leaving the past behind

I guess relationships - they ain't for me
I am not good with relationships

That's why I had to set you free
That's why I had to end our relationship

My personality is magnanimous
I have a great personality

That's why the ladies always cause a fuss
That's why women are attracted to me

It's in the past - what we had
Our relationship was in the past

Aiyyo, respect to your moms, and peace to your dad
Respect to your mother and father

I'm glad that we've been through this
I am glad we went through our relationship

Because you know what? I've noticed
Because you know what? I realized

A lot about myself; see, I want to gain wealth
I learned a lot about myself and my goals

They say that chasin' women is bad for your health
They say that pursuing women can be harmful to your health

Somethin' in the past
Our relationship is in the past

These moments never last
These moments do not last forever

Dedicated to all the ex girls
This song is dedicated to all of my ex-girlfriends

You know I'm on with the next girl
I am moving on to the next girl

Peace
Goodbye
