That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah
Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah

hahahaha!! I just came here to post the same thing.
This one get's an 8 - glad when William plays it - Long Live RP!!
She has one of the great voices so far this century. If you're not sure, see her live. I wouldn't have gone to see her on my own, but after being pulled to the show (kicking and screaming)... the girl can sing!
She has an exceptional voice not needing any electronic enhancement, and writes her own stuff. In today's world of corporate McMusic and the X Factor (more like the 'why?' factor), those are two increasingly rare attributes which stick out like diamonds in a dungheap. I for one thank RP for playing Adele because I never listen to FM stations (mostly because they give me earache and raise my blood pressure unacceptably).
When she hits those high notes, you can hear the strain on her voice. No wonder she just had to cancel her U.S. tour for the second time (due to vocal cord damage).
I love the CD21 and I hope we hear a lot more from this young artist, I think we will!
This is probably the best pop album of 2011...it's that good! Well done Adele. Thanks Bill and Rebecca.
