The Past Songtext
von Ray Parker Jr.

I was wrong when I hurt you
But did you have to hurt me too?
Did you think revenge will make it better?

I don′t care about the past
I just want our love to last
There's a way to bring us back together

I must forgive you (I must forgive you)
You must forgive me too (we just have to try)
If we wanna try to put things back
The way they used to be (honey, let′s start again)
'Cause there's no sense in going over and over
The same things as before
So let′s not bring the past back anymore

No looking back, we can′t look back
Honey, let's start again

Out of all the good we had
You only keep track of the bad
Though you knew I never really loved her, hmm


Didn′t anyone tell you yet
That to forgive is to forget?
How can you be mad if you don't remember?

I must forgive you (I must forgive you)
You must forgive me too (we just have to try)
If we wanna try to put things back
The way they used to be (honey, let′s start again)
'Cause there′s no sense in going over and over
The same things as before
So let's not bring the past back anymore

No looking back, we can't look back

I must forgive you (I must forgive you)
And you must forgive me too
It′s the only thing that′s left
That we haven't tried to do
But one thing I′m sure will work
That we haven't tried before
Let′s not bring the past back anymore

No looking back, no looking back
Honey, let's start again
