[Verse 1]
Well, why don't you love me like you used to do?
How come you treat me like a worn-out shoe?
My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue
Why don't you love me like you used to do?

[Chorus]
Ain't had no lovin' like a-huggin' and a-kissin'
In a long, long while
We don't get nearer or further or closer
Than a country mile

[Verse 2]
Why don't you spark me like you used to do
And say sweet nothin's like you used to coo?
I'm the same old trouble that you've always been through
So why don't you love me like you used to do?

[Verse 3]
Well, why don't you be just like you used to be?
How come you find so many faults with me?
Somebody's changed, so let me give you a clue
Why don't you love me like you used to do?

[Chorus]
Ain't had no lovin' like a-huggin' and a-kissin'
In a long, long while
We don't get nearer or further or closer
Than a country mile
