I'd Have it Just the Way We Were Lyrics

Wouldn’t cha know it
Wouldn’t cha know
You’re hardly the guessing
Hardly the guessing kind
I’m guessing you knew just how I thought of you all along
Now you’re here again with me
I can’t believe
If it’s just something if we do
In spite of efforts to be true
Making time for ourselves and of ourselves isn’t love if we are selfishly prude
I’d have it just the way we were
I’d have it just the way we were again
Wouldn’t cha know it
Wouldn’t cha know
You’re hardly the guessing
Hardly the guessing kind
I’m guessing you knew just how I thought of you all along
Why would you want to spite
If the someone wants to smile
Making time for ourselves in and of ourselves isn’t love if we are selfish
I’m guessing you

Close, but try:

Wouldn't you've known it Wouldn't you've known You're hardly the guessing Hardly the guessing kind I'm guessing you knew Just how I thought of you all along

Now you're here again with me I can't believe If it's just something that we do Despite our efforts to be true Making time for ourselves And other selves This isn't done cuz we are selfishly true

I'd have it just the way we were I'd have it just the way we were again

Wouldn't you've known it Wouldn't you've known You're hardly the guessing Hardly the guessing kind I'm guessing you knew Just how I thought of you all along

Why would you want to spite If there's someone wants to smile Making time for ourselves And other selves This isn't done cuz we are selfish I'm guessing that you knew

Yes this seems more accurate...this song is a tricky one. I was listening to the track on Fits (versus the one on Last Day of Summer) when I was making this attempt.

Those are the lyrics for the Fits version. These are the mostly-identical lyrics for the Last Day of Summer version:

Wouldn't you've known it Wouldn't you've known it You're hardly the guessing Not hardly the guessing kind I'm guessing you knew Just how I thought of you all along

Now you're here again with me I can't believe If it's just something that we do Despite our efforts to be true We make time for ourselves And other selves This isn't done cuz we are selfish I'm guessing you

I'd have it just the way we were I'd have it just...

It seems to be a song about 2 people who are cheating in their relationships to be together "Now you're here again with me I can't believe If it’s just something if we do In spite of efforts to be true "

they cheat and maybe it is because they don't really want to be in their relationships

"Making time for ourselves And other selves"

being with each other then being with their other person

they could also have once been a couple, broke it off and now are cheating to be together and he wishes they were like how they were before

or

no cheating and they were just together before and now they are back together and he wants the relationship to be as it were, like just resuming back were they left off.
