Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking out for number one
Drifting with the wind
Was all I ever knew
I wasn't looking for a change
I didn't want to rearrange
My plans, My dreams
But I didn't count on you
Under my skin
So fast, I never got to ask
What Happened to me
Who I used to be
Has suddenly turned up missing
Does love do this to you
Make you turn into a completely different person
If it does, I guess love's
What happened to me
And everything I thought I knew
Has been redefined by you
Now there's no need for
This stupid disguise
I stepped into a different place
the moment that I saw your face
I swear I saw myself
Deep in your eyes
And I don't know how
All I know now
For sure
It's obvious that your
CHORUS
Yeah, all my friends
Who knew me when
Wonder...
What happened to her
