Relive the Magic...Bring the Magic Home Lyrics
So you run away
Told you all these things
and yet you couldn't stay
Wouldn't even stop to give the time of day
And everything I said won't make these things okay
Cause all I have to say is
Girl you mean
so much to me
I wish that I
could make you see
The way you wanted me to be
Is just as easy as 1-2-3
Across the world
so far away
I knew the words to make you stay
Of course it's what I didn't say
Still I knew the words to make you stay
You smile at me
and wave to me
I know exactly where and what I want to be
And if I wait for this
So run away
What were all the times we could have had that day
Everybody knows that we would be okay
What they say should never matter anyway
So all I have to say is
Girl you mean
so much to me
I wish that I
could make you see
The way you wanted me to be
Is just as easy as 1-2-3
Across the world
so far away
I knew the words to make you stay
Of course it's what I didn't say
Still I knew the words to make you stay
Girl you mean
so much to me
I wish that I
could make you see
The way you wanted me to be
Is just as easy as 1-2-3
Across the world
so far away
I knew the words to make you stay
Of course it's what I didn't say
Still I knew the words to make you stay
You smile at me
and wave to me
I know exactly where and what I want to be
And if I wish for this
Told you all these things
and yet you couldn't stay
Wouldn't even stop to give the time of day
And everything I said won't make these things okay
Cause all I have to say is
so much to me
I wish that I
could make you see
The way you wanted me to be
Is just as easy as 1-2-3
Across the world
so far away
I knew the words to make you stay
Of course it's what I didn't say
Still I knew the words to make you stay
and wave to me
I know exactly where and what I want to be
And if I wait for this
What were all the times we could have had that day
Everybody knows that we would be okay
What they say should never matter anyway
So all I have to say is

I wish that I

The way you wanted me to be

I know exactly where and what I want to be
And if I wish for this

I have actually felt like this before. All I wanted was a girl, but found out that it wasn't a mutal attraction after I told her so. Guess that happens to everyone, as they happened to write a song about it.
this is my fave song by reggie.....i am so in love with this band its ridiculous....the whole new wave 80s thing rocks and the cheesy lyrics and accent make it even better.... reggie rocks!!!!!
i agree with Rugrat,the new wave and cheesy lyrics plus accent make it great.
in my case, it be "boy you mean so much to me" . i feel the same way...
this song is a good song...def.about some girl that started liking this dude, but once he fell for her easily, she didnt care nemore. always want whatcha cant have.
i love this song so much, this was the first reggie song i heard and i fell in love with them.
My favorite Reggie song... I can't put it into words but gawd this song just rawks :D
This song is about "Reggie" and his feelings for a (girl)friend where he wants to be more than that and be accepted with her in a relationship like in the lines "The way you wanted me to be, Is just as easy as 1-2-3" It shows he's willing to change to be taken in with her and when he says "I knew the words to make you stay" It's not in a literal sense, he means to have her stay with him...that's my take at least.
