Remember last year when I used to hate you
Insults were true and I wished I'd never met you
Remember back then when I pushed you off the bleachers
I didn't think it would lead to something but now I think of you
I remember at that push the smile on my face a the laugh on yours
Do you love me back or is it all illusionary
I need an answer
tell me it's you

Your smile wins my heart
Your laughter wins my soul
The music you play on your guitar makes me want it all
I remember when I asked my mama to tell yours to leave me alone
How could I have guessed my heart was playing hard to get
How could I have guessed that I would smile when you are around
How could I have guessed that we could work as a perfect team
How could I have guessed I would've fallen in love… again

This one girl knows
She sees it in my eyes when I look at you
She teases me and make hearts
But they could never express my euphoria towards you
She likes to tease me when your around
I pretend I don't want to be with you
but it just makes my heart scream for more

Your smile wins my heart
Your laughter wins my soul
The music you play on your guitar makes me want it all
I remember when I asked my mama to tell yours to leave me alone
How could I have guessed my heart was playing hard to get
How could I have guessed that I would smile when you are around
How could I have guessed that we could work as a perfect team
How could I have guessed I would've fallen in love… again

How could I have guessed you would love me then
That your teases meant exactly that
Did I lose my chance
Baby tell me please
I want to know, I think I know

Your smile wins my heart
Your laughter wins my soul
The music you play on your guitar makes me want it all
I remember when I asked my mama to tell yours to leave me alone
How could I have guessed my heart was playing hard to get
How could I have guessed that I would smile when you are around
How could I have guessed that we could work as a perfect team
How could I have guessed I would've fallen in love… again

Your smile wins my heart
Your laughter wins my soul
The music you play on your guitar makes me want it all
I remember when I asked my mama to tell yours to leave me alone…(How could I have guessed)

How could I have guessed my heart was playing hard to get
How could I have guessed that I would smile when you are around
How could I have guessed that we could work as a perfect team
How could I have guessed I would've fallen in love… again

This was my first song I ever wrote words and guitar chords. This is about my (now ex) boyfriend when we first got together. I hope you enjoy!
