| K, here's my interpretation. She's breaking up with a guy because he cheated on her or almost cheated on her. It's too late to beg for forgiveness. "You've forgotten how it started" refers to how they got together, possibly behind the back of another woman. Now she regrets it, sees it as a big mistake, once a cheater always a cheater. She's reminding him of what he's lost. | |

| I pretty much agree with missme as the meaning. But this is like, the best Nat song EVER. I just got the Greatest hits CD and I totally forgot about this song until i was goin thru the CD. It's really really good. -hayles- | |

| Oddly enough, every time I hear this song I don't find the obvious meaning - Woman Scorned and so forth - but quite a bit of love. She is looking at someone who hurt her deeply, which couldn't have happened if she hadn't loved him deeply. He is obviously trying to win her back; failing to do so, yes, but he is making an honest effort. She talks about love, asks him to remember how it used to be... would she do that if it wasn't worth remembering? | |
