I'll never know why I had to go

Why I had to put up such a lousy rotten show

Boy, I was tough, packing all my stuff

Saying I don't need you anymore, I've had enough

And now, look at me standing here again 'cause I found out that

Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma my life is here

Gotta have you near

As good as new, my love for you

And keeping it that way is my intention

As good as new and growing too

Yes, I think it's taking on a new dimension

It's as good as new, my love for you

Just like it used to be and even better

As good as new, thank God it's true

Darling, we were always meant to stay together

Feel like a creep, never felt so cheap

Never had a notion that my love could be so deep

How could I make such a dumb mistake

Now I know I'm not entitled to another break

But please, baby, I beg you to forgive 'cause I found out that

Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma my life is here

Gotta get you near

I thought that our love was at an end but here I am again

As good as new, my love for you

And keeping it that way is my intention

As good as new and growing too

Yes, I think it's taking on a new dimension

It's as good as new, my love for you

Just like it used to be and even better

As good as new, thank God it's true

Darling, we were always meant to stay together

Yes the love I have for you feels as good as new

Darling, we were always meant to stay together
